5-yr-old has painful hammer toes and flat feet despite nearly 3 yrs of orthotics and regular toe stretches. would you recommend tendon clipping or ???

Second opinion.: I would recommend seeing a pediatric foot specialist. There are biomechanical issues that have to be considered. This cannot be determined without actually examining the patient.
