Default Looking for more info on Dr. Nuzzo/percutaneous release

Hi, Andrea:

I'm researching Dr. Nuzzo before I take my 2 year old to go see him. I was interested in your post because my daughter has tightness that causes her to toe walk on her right foot (as well as bow out to the outer side of her foot). Just wondering if the continued need for the AFO is related to the toe walking (our main concern) or the walking on the inside of the foot. Also I was wondering if you have any idea regarding the age Dr. Nuzzo does surgery for toe walking (did you try to do it any earlier than 3?)
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

He wears AFO's, without them, his walks on his inner side of his foot and it looks very bad. Andrea
