Metatarsus adductus

Metatarsus adductus is one such foot related problem. The bones which are available in the middle foot are not in the normal position. The bones are bended in shape. This is a common problem. This problem is identified at the time of birth. The most possible reason for this foot deformity is deficiency of amniotic fluid. The fetus is normally floats in the amniotic fluid. This fluid is available in the stomach of the pregnancy ladies. The level of fluid should be correct. Then only, the babies are born with no problem. The front part of the foot is only bended. The back portion and the ankles are in normal condition. Stretching exercises are enough to treat this condition. At extreme stage, surgery is needed.
