Metatarsus Varus treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Metatarsus varus, also called metatarsus adductus, is a foot condition in which the front part deviates inward. It is frequently seen in infants and is usually identified in the first months of life.

How is it recognized? The outer edge of the foot takes on a curved shape and the front half points toward the midline of the body, giving the foot an arched appearance.

Course: in many cases it is a flexible condition that the specialist monitors throughout the child's growth.

Whom to see? The pediatrician can detect it during checkups, and the orthopedist is the one who studies the foot's alignment in depth. If you notice this characteristic shape in your child, it's worth discussing it with these professionals for an early evaluation.
