A radiographic study of infant metatarsus adductus treatment by serial casting.
Although many papers have been written on metatarsus adductus, few have used radiographic criteria for either the diagnosis of or in determining correction of metatarsus adductus. Most use objective clinical appearance as their sole criteria for diagnosis and correction. This paper establishes radiographic criteria for both the diagnosis and correction of metatarsus adductus.
