| Popis: | Pediatric lower extremity complaints are a common source of concern for parents. Gait concerns such as in-toeing are considered a developmental variant of childhood growth and are a common reason for visits to a pediatrician. In-toeing specifically is a common anatomic structural variation encountered by pediatric primary care providers and pediatric orthopedic specialists and may be accentuated between six months and five years during which children are developing their coordination skills. This study focuses on the three most common causes of in-toeing in the pediatric population; femoral anteversion (FA), tibial torsion (TT), and metatarsus adductus (MA) with the purpose of providing a brief review to give providers confidence in addressing these common developmental abnormalities. |
