A general understanding of the cause and natural history of rotational and angular malalignment of the lower extremity allows accurate differentiation between pathologic and physiologic conditions. One can then educate the involved and often concerned family and proceed with observational management of physiologic conditions as spontaneous improvement of alignment can be expected. Aside from resistant metatarsus adductus, other forms of treatment, such as special shoes, casts, or braces, are rarely beneficial and have no proven efficacy. Persistent deformity beyond skeletal maturity is unusual and rarely causes significant functional disability. In the rare care of severe residual deformity, operative correction is the only effective means of treatment.
