Nail Patella Syndrome
Nail–patella syndrome (NPS) (also known as “HOOD syndrome“) is a genetic disorder that results in small, poorly developed nails and kneecaps, but can also affect many other areas of the body, such as the elbows, chest, and hips.

Transcript: Nail Patella Syndrome is manifesting in Naveya, and Charlie. Naveya had the clubfoot aspect. Charlie does not however; he just has the nail manifestation. In regards to Naveya, she received here surgery and in response for pain relief, she was receiving Oxycodone, Diazepam, and a stool softener. Were the three medications she was receiving.

Its called the Ponseti method, a French doctor developed it. Its a series of casting, and they slowly form the foot back to where it needs to go.
