I just thought I would share with you: My 3 yo daughter (non-clubfoot child)

was born with severe flexible metatarsus adductus that has spontaneously

corrected. My son (right atypical clubfoot) also has developed what Dr Mosca

and Dr Ponseti refer to as " dynamic adductus " in his clubfoot. Basically it is

metatarsus adductus caused by a muscle imballance in the midfoot. Both drs say

it is very common in clubfoot babies and usually self-corrects with age.

Thank you for sharing that with me. That makes me feel better. I

am glad that it has corrected itself. That goes along with what the

doctor said, I really hope it corrects itself. Thanks again for

letting me know that.
