An adduction deformity of the forefoot in relation to the hind foot. 1, record 1, English, - metatarsus%20adductus
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The two terms, metatarsus adductus and metatarsus varus, are used interchangeably to describe essentially the same condition. The purist would differentiate between the two by stating that in the metatarsus adductus there is no supination of the forefoot and that in the varus deformity, supination is present. Yet, clinically, the metatarsus varus appears to be nothing more than a more severe type of adduction deformity of the metatarsals. 4, record 1, English, - metatarsus%20adductus
