What is it?<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is a congenital<\/span>malformation<\/b> of the foot at the level of the<\/span> tarsometatarsal joint<\/b>(commonly known<\/span> as the Lisfranc joint)<\/b>that affects the soft tissues. It frequently occurs in newborns, in whom, if identified early and treated correctly, <\/span>it is resolved<\/b> in the majority of<\/span>cases without the need for surgery,<\/b> thus avoiding complications derived from this type of procedure that lengthen recovery times. it is resolved in the majority of cases without the need for surgery, thus avoiding complications derived from this type of procedure that lengthen recovery times. thus avoiding complications derived from this type of procedure that lengthen recovery times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metatarsus<\/span> adductus<\/b>is characterised by a disorder of forefoot alignment,<\/span>with variable degrees of adduction and supination,<\/b>and is often associated<\/span> with a slight<\/b> rearfoot valgus<\/b>, a<\/span> differentiating<\/span>aspect ofclubfoot<\/b> (6-7).<\/span> <\/p>\n

\"METATARSUS<\/b><\/h2>\n

How is it diagnosed? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Diagnosis is fundamentally clinical<\/span>,a good<\/b>anamnesis and an appropriate<\/span> physical<\/b>examination<\/span> are essential.<\/b>. The contribution of complementary tests is less essential; <\/span>it is not necessary to carry out radiographic tests<\/b> on a regular basis in this type of pathology as they do not allow us to demonstrate forefoot mobility. However, it can be useful in advanced deformities to assess their severity and the effectiveness of treatment (8-9).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

How is it classified according to its severity?<\/b><\/h2>\n

“In order to unify diagnostic and treatment criteria,<\/span> as well as to<\/b> anticipate a prognosis”,<\/span> C. Martos Mora et al.<\/b> propose a clinical-therapeutic classification<\/span>based on a retrospective study<\/b> of 87 patients with metatarsus adductus. They established three degrees of intensity of involvement: (5)<\/span><\/p>\n
