•Skew foot = Heel in valgus but forefoot adducted
•Associated with “packaging”
•Torticollis
•DDH
•Knee dislocation
•CTEV (?)
•Clinical
•Intoeing
•Ddx: femoral anteversion, tibial intorsion
•must rule out DDH, blounts
Natural history by Ponseti – 88% spontaneous resolution

•Mx for MTA
•Mild – correct beyond 2nd web – observe
•Mod – correct to 2nd web – stretch
•Severe – correct not to 2nd web – casting
•Failed – OT at 4 yo, cuboid shortening + 1st MC lengthening
