Orthopedic Surgery
In brief:
Out toed gait
The most obvious term is out toed gait.
Otherwise the answer depends on what is causing the condition. The problem could be in the hips, knees, ankles or feet. Each problem would have a different name. For example, flat foot deformity can cause out toed gait.
