| | \IN-TOEING GAIT IN CHILDREN WITH AN EMPHASIS ON METATARSUS ADDUCTUS. . |
| | Metatarsus adductus is a deformity at the level of the foot which can lead to an in-toed gait. | | | As stated before, metatarsus adductus is one of the causes of in-toeing at the level of the foot. | | | The clinical examination of metatarsus adductus as described by Valmassy (1996), is said to be best visualised by placing the child's foot into a 'V' formed between the second and third fingers of the examiner's hand. |

| | Surgery of Metatarsus Adductus |
| | Bleck (1983, p.4) categorises metatarsus adductus on the basis of clinical assessment, evaluation of foot flexibility, and the position of the heel bisector. | | | Surgical correction of metatarsus adductus is only advocated in the paediatric patient after 2 years of age, and following unsuccessful results with conservative treatment modalities, which include stretching and manipulation, alteration in sitting and sleeping positions, functional orthoses, serial casting, splints, and shoe therapy (Yu and Wallace, 1987, p.338). | | | Cummings and Lovell (1988, p.1111) stated that the Heyman-Herndon-Strong procedure was rarely employed for the correction of metatarsus adductus, due to the stiffness and pain endured by the patient postoperatively. |

| | In-Toeing |
| | Metatarsus adductus is defined as a convexity (curving inward) of the lateral aspect of the foot. | | | The three most common causes of in-toeing in children are femoral anteversion (twisting of the femur/thigh), internal/medial tibial torsion (twisted tibia/shin bone), and metatarsus adductus (curved foot). | | | The majority of patients will have flexible metatarsus adductus, meaning that the foot can passively be corrected to neutral (normal) position. |

| | Metatarsus adductus (MTA) or varus is a condition that is commonly seen in newborns and young infants, where the forefoot is twisted inwards relative to the hindfoot (or heel). | | | Metatarsus adductus and Metatarsus varus are terms used interchangeably, and some doctors call the condition Metatarsus adductovarus. | | | Some purists argue that there are subtle differences, but most doctors from a practical standpoint cannot and do not find a need to distinguish between them clinically. |

| | For those infants with very rigid or severe metatarsus adductus, surgery may be required to release the forefoot joints. | | | Metatarsus adductus is a common problem that can be corrected. | | | However, x-rays (a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film) of the feet are often done in the case of non-flexible metatarsus adductus. |

| | With an incidence of approximately 1 in 1000 live births and about 50% bilaterality, metatarsus adductus is the most common congenital deformity referred to an orthopaedic surgeon; skewfoot is an infrequently seen foot deformity [4,10,16]. | | | Thus, the importance of positioning the patient properly and focusing the x-ray beam on the area of interest is discussed. | | | Both deformities are characterized by medial subluxation and supination of the forefoot at the tarsometatarsal joints creating lateral convexity of the foot. |

| | One theory is that the condition results from the fetus being tightly packed inside the uterus during development. | | | "Adduct" means "to move towards the middle of the body." "Metatarsus adductus," then, refers to the metatarsal bones of the foot being turned towards the middle of the body (see diagram). | | | The physician can assess the degree of metatarsus adductus by testing the range of motion of the foot. |

| | Metatarsus adductus is a curve in the foot. Most often the curve is seen as a sharp inward angle of the front half of the foot. The condition is basically a skeletal disorder that simply pulls the metatarsal bones inwards. The condition is also called forefoot varus or metatarsus varus. | | | Metatarsus adductus is technically a deformity, but it is a flexible one. This means that the problem can be corrected with little effort. | | | Metatarsus adductus can occur in one or both feet. Its symptoms include: |
