Got a call today from an old friend in O&P. He received an Rx from a doctor for a Benesch Boot… HCPCS Code L3213, Benesch boot, pair, child… If I'm recalling correctly, it's a piece clear of plastic that connects the heels of a pair of leather high top shoes? Similar to a Dennis Brown Splint but shorter. What's your best guess besides the doctor needs to update his knowledge of children's footwear & bracing…and no, Markell didn't have a clue.

Ponseti Bracing is the “new Benesch Boot” Web: https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/ponseti-bracing.html
