Metatarso aducto - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Antepié varo; Metatarso varo; Metatarso aducido

Síntomas:

La parte frontal del pie está doblada o en ángulo hacia la mitad. La parte posterior del pie y el tobillo son normales. Aproximadamente la mitad de los niños con metatarso aducto tiene el problema en ambos pies.

(Con un pie zambo, una deformidad distinta, el pie apunta hacia abajo y el tobillo también está volteado hacia adentro.)

Signos y exámenes:

El examen físico es todo lo que se necesita para diagnosticar un metatarso aducto.

Se debe hacer un examen cuidadoso de la cadera para descartar otras causas de metatarso aducto.
