About ME
my story
My name is Vedant Nayudu. I am 11 years old and I live in Singapore. I was born in Jakarta with a condition known as Clubfoot - it affected my left foot which was turned 90 degree inwards when I was born. My parents said that it was difficult to cope with - I had to wear special shoes with a brace (from MD Orthopaedics in the US) connecting my legs which were really uncomfortable for about 4 years from my birth.
Doctors from Jakarta (Dr. Andjar Bhawano), Singapore (Dr. Kevin Lim) and India (Dr. Jayanth Sampath) used the Ponseti technique to correct my left foot. The Ponseti technique is named after Dr. Ponseti (a Spanish doctor) and is a technique that is used to correct the position of one's leg(s), usually without the need for any surgery if done right after a child's birth.
My hobbies are playing Chess, Cricket and Tennis. I am always free to play a friendly game of chess on Lichess (ID: VedantNayudu).
