Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern for your son.
The treatment of Congenital Talipes equino-varus (CTEV) requires time and the patience of the parents and the kid.
Yes serial casting and wearing the Dennis-Brown shoe at night are the treatments.
He must have undergone soft tissue release operations or is waiting for one.
At around 12 years there is provision for a triple arthrodesis operation.
Do not worry much . There are loads of treatment. It will take a bit of time. But keep patience . If you are in a rush , the deformities will persist.
Take your son to the doctor at regular intervals . All the best.

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
CTEV will need repeated corrections
If previous surgeries failed, she might need a second opinion from orthopedician
Wishing your child speedy recovery and good health
