My son's both legs are deformed by birth. His age is 1 yr 9 months. We are advised to go to Bangalore Sai Baba Hospital for check up. Will the problem be cured there? We have consulted a doctor here at Kolkata. He gave him a long shoe to wear on his legs at the time of walking or standing. He said it will take a long time to be cured.
