Why was Mehta’s Growth Guidance Casting not mentioned at our appointment with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon?

While all physician’s are familiar with the basics of casts and casting, Mehta’s Growth Guidance Casting
(MGGC) is a specialized procedure that requires a specific type of frame and a surgeon who has been
trained in the protocol. Your child’s surgeon may not be familiar with MGGC. Please refer her or him to
ISOP’s website for resources and access to specialized training.
