Patient's question:
The child is over two years old and walks with one foot turning inward. This has been the case since they were over one year old. They visited a hospital once and had hip X-rays taken, which showed no issues. It gradually improved over time, but recently they have noticed that the inward turning has become severe again. What department should they see now, and are there any corrective methods available?Doctor's answer:
From your description, the child has been walking with one foot inwardly deviated for over two years, and this condition has been present since they were over one year old. Recently, it has been noticed that the deviation has become more pronounced again. It is necessary to have the child examined again by a pediatric orthopedist. This will help determine how calcium deficiency might be contributing to the issue, and it will also involve monitoring the child's nutritional digestion and considering their age. Whether correction is needed, and what methods should be used, must be confirmed through a thorough examination.
