[|Human|] hi, My name is surekha. I am a resident of Bangalore.I have spina bifida. In Nov 2011 I underwent a surger for the excision of the 5th metatarsal. I need a footwear that will keep my leg protected from repeated ulcers. Can you please suggest where can i have it done
[|AI|]  Hello, It's a very individualized situation. About 10% of people used to have some spina bifida but in the vast majority, it was just a money abnormality that did NOT do anything and did not expose much of the spine.  It can be so bad as to cause congenital paraplegia. This is rare. You'd have to see how much of the spine is affected both in extent and depth. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
