Talking about surgery, which is apparently a very minor surgical work doctor Nargesh agarwal shows in his videos (posted on YouTube) how this small procedure is done. Doctor Agarwal mentions the following: “the child who has clubfoot has the tendon that is behind it is tight. So what we do is, the heel that you see here is the sole and this is the heel area. We go one inch upwards to the heel area, here first we do local anesthesia, local anesthesia means to numb that particular area. When this area becomes numb then with any surgical blade we after feeling the place, we cut the tendon from here. The moment this tendon is cut, the way you saw it there is a gap created between them in this gap a new vein is generated. OK. It is a very simple procedure. There was a tight tendon, this blade went here, cut it and they got separated. After this what is gap is created in this a new vein is generated. Just exactly like that a new vein is created as nature had provided”. There are research done on the same by Doctor Agarwal and others which can be used as reference for more information.
