Idiopathic Toe Walking (ITW) is when a child continues to walk on their tippy-toes past 3 years of age.
ITW is estimated to occur in 7% to 24% of children.
Ever since Evelina first learned to walk, she has walked on her tippy-toes. Evelina's parents had taken her to see several doctors over the years, including a pediatrician and orthopedic surgeon, but they were not able to find a solution for her toe walking. Eventually, they decided to get a second opinion, so they searched online for someone that specializes in children’s foot problems, particularly toe walking, and found Dr. Mikkel Jarman with Pediatric Foot & Ankle.

“We spoke to an orthopedic surgeon early on and we wanted someone who specialized in her specific issue. So, my husband got online, and we started searching around and he found [Pediatric] Foot & Ankle. Dr. Jarman ended up standing out to us, not only because he was pediatric certified, but because he had some information that was specific to her issue.”
Evelina’s mom

If anybody wants to understand this more. I had this growing up. The doctors had me in a brace every day every year till I was 18 in junior year of highschool. That is when a doctor I saw at another hospital told me the only real way to fix the problem is to have foot surgery. It took me all of summer so around 3 months to have it done. 2 surgeries and such. I will tell you though. If you ever are thinking of getting or not getting it, I suggest you get it. I'm now 35 and it was one of the best choices I've had!

@PediatricFootAnkle Год назад

Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad to hear you decided to have the surgery. It really can change a person's life, especially when they are still dealing with it into adulthood.

@Sugarbeet724 Год назад

@kevin hedeen My son is 15 and getting this surgery in another week. He wants to have both feet done at the same time. Why did you have to have 2 surgeries? I'm a very concerned mama and would love some input.

I had this surgery 10 years ago in 3rd grade to correct it I remember wanting to be normal so bad I’m 19 now idk if I would have made the same decision my parents did to have the surgery.

@give5minsonly776 2 года назад

How are you doing now

@PediatricFootAnkle 2 года назад

She is doing well. Every child is different with the severity of their toe walking and there are so many factors that go into making these decisions. It is also important to understand there are several different types of surgical correction approaches that will give different outcomes to correct the toe walking and have different recoveries. Your surgeon will guid you down the correct path. I hope this helps. Dr. Jarman

@ravikumaradimi3036 2 года назад

Hi sir, my baby has calcanevolgus deformity in right leg. Please make a video to do physiotherapy to correction

@PediatricFootAnkle 2 года назад

Thanks for your comments. Calcanevolgus deformity is a flat foot, at this point in time there is no physiotherapy that will create spontaneous correction. Orthotics with UCBL designs with help. Thanks, Dr. Jarman

I'm 17 and toe walk and am going through the process to get the surgery and any parents debating it do it from 17 years of walking on my toes I'm in so much pain and wish I decided to do it way sooner

Thank you for your comment, I am glad you on your way to recovery. -Dr. Jarman.

I had it done at 18 and its going to hurt for a little while after surgery walking on it after surgery. It will feel strange with an odd hurt. Waiting till now is a good choice cause your body has grown more. A suggestion I state is look up asking for Gabapentin. It is a great medication to help alter your pain about nerve damage. So it should help with the strange pain after. If you ever need to talk about it and what not. Just message me for advice!

@paytonrobles3113 2 года назад

My son is 7. We've done numerous physical therapies and nothing helps. They offered braces but then last second insurance told us no because he doesnt need it. So now i guess we'll just wait until he needs the surgery. 🙄

@kr5289 2 года назад

Yeah insurance wouldn't pay for my granddaughters braces either now few years later she having to have surgery. I guess insurance knows more than doctors.

@PediatricFootAnkle Год назад

Providers can often have a "Peer to Peer" consult with the insurance company's designated medical provider where the patient's provider can explain why the treatment is necessary. Often, encounter notes and any imaging results may need to be sent prior for the insurance carrier's provider to review. pediatricfootankle.com/contact-directions/

@phole1100 Год назад

I don't understand, can't you just stop walking like that?

@PediatricFootAnkle Год назад

For many people, they cannot; that is when an evaluation with a podiatrist would be appropriate. The age of the patient, severity of the condition and other health factors would determine if conservative or non-conservative treatment would be the best plan of care. Thanks for watching the video and your question.

@phole1100 Год назад

@@PediatricFootAnkle you didn't answer my question and I still don't understand

@PediatricFootAnkle Год назад

As we noted above, many people cannot "just stop" walking on their toes. For those children and adults, it is uncomfortable to walk with a heel/toe gait. Some may be able to lower their heel for a step or two but then the heel rises again and they are on their toes.

@phole1100 Год назад

@@PediatricFootAnkle why won't you answer my question!? Let me try and be more clesr. Is this a physical disability or a mental disability? I'm trying to figure out what causes this

@PediatricFootAnkle Год назад

The condition itself is not a disability. It could be related to other diagnoses. (sometimes cerebral palsy or autism). However to clarify, that does not mean someone who is toe-walking, has either of these diagnoses.
