Maneto

Tratamiento:

Por lo general, esta condición de maneto no se trata, pero se puede considerar la cirugía cuando el problema persiste después de la pubertad y cuando la separación de los tobillos es severa.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

En los niños, el maneto desaparece normalmente sin tratamiento, a menos que exista una condición subyacente. La cirugía ofrece excelentes resultados estéticos para los casos que la requieran.

Complicaciones:

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Se debe buscar asistencia médica para programar una evaluación si se sospecha que el niño tiene maneto.
