A member asked:
Please let me know if there is a reason why some people are pigeon toed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pigeon toe: This is usually due to internal tibial torsion. It is congenital in origin and 90 percent of people outgrow the deformity. If not it is usually not a problem. It may look funny with walking but usually asymtomatic.
