A member asked:
What could i do at home to help straighten my sons foot up, he got diagnosed with bilateral metatarsus addictus at age of 1.5years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Met Adductus: This usually is not that serious if it doesn't cause pain. At that age the best way to correct this is surgery, but only if he has pain. Custom orthotics may help stop the shift of the bones.
