Metatarsus Adductus
When a baby's feet seem to curve inward, a checkup is worthwhile, since it could be metatarsus adductus.
Metatarsus adductus is a common variation in the shape of the foot in which the front part deviates inward while the heel keeps a normal position. It is usually detected in the first months of life.
Characteristics: In many cases it is flexible and appears as a curvature of the outer edge of the foot. It can affect one or both feet.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician usually identifies it during the baby's checkups, and the orthopedist or podiatrist assesses the degree of deviation and follow-up. If you notice this shape in your child's feet, discussing it with one of these professionals helps clarify whether it requires observation or management.
