METATARSUS ADDUCTUS | MISALIGNMENT OF THE FOREFOOT IN CHILDREN

Target audience

The metatarsus adductus is a common foot deformity.

With this deviation in position, children walk with their feet turned inwards. There is an adducted position of the forefoot in relation to the rear foot. In most cases, it is a posture-related deformity which can be corrected passively, resulting in a favourable prognosis.
Treatment is not necessary because in 90% of cases, the postural deviation recovers spontaneously before the age of four.

A distinction is made between the 'flexible' form (metatarsus adductus) and the 'rigid' (metatarsus varus), passive form that cannot be completely redressed. The latter requires correction by means of plaster redress and subsequent treatment with a night splint.

Solve your complaints

Appointments can be made by phone +32 (0)475 57 73 67 or via the contact form.

Consultations are from Monday to Friday, always by appointment.
The practice is reachable on all working days from 9 am to 7 pm.

We deliberately do not use an online agenda, as we find personal contact by phone very important at Podiatry practice Podometrix.

Concerning the covid-related measures, we still ask you to wear a mask in the waiting room and the practice. If you or any of your family members have any symptoms that might indicate Covid-19, it is obvious that you should cancel your appointment and move it to a later date.

The consultation can always be paid in cash or by Payconiq.
