Dear list
I am curious what - if any - treatment you follow for a semi-rigid metatarsus adductus deformity on a 5-year old kid. It is not extreme however mom is very concerned and doctor said that he will operate on this in 5 years. Did any of you had any success with an orthotic device on this age. I know that once a child starts walking it's difficult to get any positive results consevatively. What do you think? If there is something, is there any literature evidence on this? Thanks a lot in advance.
