A member asked:

Can you give me suggestions with metatarsus adductus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: If it is in an adult there is not much to do other than surgery but this would have to be a very large deformity causing a lot of pain. Support of the foot is about the only thing i would suggest.
