Feedback
1. Metatarsus Adductus typically presents with the chief complaint of in-toeing, yet the child can put his/her foot flat on the floor and the forefoot is turned inward. This is often considered a packaging disorder, but it is easily corrected with stretching and placing shoes on the opposite feet.
2. The tibia is not affected.
3. The femur is not involved.
4. Blount's disease is not demonstrated in this patient's history.
