Documenting metatarsus adductus is simple and inexpensive using weightbearing foot photocopies. Serial assessments objectively track treatment progress, though copier glass strength is an unknown variable.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Podiatry
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Metatarsus adductus is a common foot deformity.
  • Accurate and cost-effective methods for monitoring treatment are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, accurate, and inexpensive method for documenting metatarsus adductus.
  • To enable objective assessment of treatment progress through serial documentation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing photocopies of the foot in a weightbearing position.
  • Reviewing serial photocopies to assess treatment progress.

Main Results:

  • Photocopying offers a straightforward approach to documenting foot posture.
  • Serial photocopies allow for objective evaluation of treatment efficacy.
