Metatarsus adductus

Alternate Names : Metatarsus varus, Forefoot varus

Definition

Metatarsus adductus is a foot deformity. The bones in the middle of the foot bend in toward the body.

Overview, Causes, & Risk Factors

Metatarsus adductus is thought to occur as a result of the infant's position inside the womb.

This is a relatively common disease affecting about one out of every 1,000 to 2,000 live births. Risk factors may include a condition called oligohydramnios in which the pregnant mother does not produce enough amniotic fluid.
