“Metatarsus Adductus (MTA)” refers to medial deviation of the forefoot relative to the midfoot and/or hindfoot in the transverse plane, characterized by adduction of one or more metatarsals toward the foot midline. MTA may be flexible or rigid, mild to severe, and may be assessed on anterior–posterior weight-bearing radiographs using angular or axis-based measures and/or categorical indicators (e.g., a plumbline status), and the like.
