Metatarsus adductus: Metatarsus adductus or metatarsus varus, like pigeon toeing- where feet are curled underneath and tucked in by the pressure of the womb during development. This often is a self correcting issue but may not be in some children. Consider seeing pediatric physiatrist for accurate diagnosis and treatments.Hips should be assessed as well in children with these issues.
