In-toeing
In-toeing
- Refers to a child who, when walking and standing will have feet that point toward the midline
- The abnormality is often exaggerated when running and children are felt by their parents to be clumsy and wear through shoes at an alarming rate
- There are a number of causes of in‐toeing including internal tibial torsion and metatarsus adductus
Femoral neck anteversion
- As part of normal anatomy the femoral neck is slightly anteverted (pointing forwards)
- Excess femoral neck anteversion can give the appearance of in-toeing (as well as knock knees)
- However the degree of apparent intoeing is not of a magnitude which would warrant surgical intervention
