		Definition: Clubfoot and metatarsus adductus are congenital conditions of the foot that are usually apparent at birth.
		Metatarsus adductus is often referred to as “One third of a clubfoot” because only the forefoot is curved inward in metatarsus, whereas both the forefoot and heel are angled in a clubfoot.
		Metatarsus adductus is believed to be caused when the child is tighly packed in the mother’s womb.
