Forefoot Varus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a baby or child is born with metatarsus varus, the orthopedist and the pediatrician are the professionals who evaluate the situation. It is a variant in which the front part of the foot deviates inward relative to the rest of the foot.
What it is: it is an alteration in the position of the forefoot, common in the first months of life, which is often identified during developmental checkups.
What to observe: the tip of the foot points toward the center of the body, and the degree of deviation as well as its flexibility vary from one child to another.
An early evaluation makes it possible to distinguish the variants that tend to correct on their own from those that are worth following closely. If you notice this shape in your child's foot, discussing it with the specialist clarifies the picture and guides the care.
