Question
A 6-year-old boy was discovered to have an in-toe walk around the age of three. Recently, it has been observed that his inner ankle bone is prominently visible, and when standing or walking, his feet do not land flatly on the ground but instead on the inner side. Should correction be considered for this condition?
Answer
When a child has an in-toe walk accompanied by prominent ankle bones, it is generally recommended to undergo correction. Early treatment is the best option and may require the use of corrective devices. It is also necessary to closely monitor the child’s condition. There is no need to worry excessively; this condition can be improved through treatment.
