  • Title: In-toeing gait in children.
    Author: Aston JW.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1979 May; 19(5):111-7. PubMed ID: 443163.
    Abstract:
    Torsional deformities in the lower extremities, resulting from constrained intrauterine position, tend to spontaneously correct toward the adult configuration during growth. Internal tibial torsion, metatarsus adductus and femoral anteversion are clinically evident conditions that occur because of arrested normal postnatal development. An understanding of the dynamics of spontaneous correction permits assessment of the child with in-toeing gait as well as the selection of proper treatment.
