simple metatarsus adductus
complex metatarsus adductus
skew foot: iatrogenic or acquired
92

classify the type, severity and flexibility
put the little foot in your peace finger
stroke the medial and lateral borders to see if it spontaneously corrects

because it causes too much forefoot abduction and promotes a pronated foot type
