Most people walk with feet out about 10 degrees. Pigeon toes are with the foot inside. Intoeing is very common; it's by far one of the most common reasons for us to see patients in the office, but most pediatricians do a very good job at telling you if there's something more that needs to be done. It can come from three different places. It can come from your thigh bone, your tibia, or your foot. Any one of those things can be curved to cause the foot to progress forward. [When to see a specialist] [Prognosis of Intoeing] Roger Saldana: I like to see a patient when they're having so many issues that they're falling enough to get to the emergency room for fracture care, for stitches, or for dental work. If that's the case, we can help them out with some supportive devices. We now know that this condition improves on its own. It doesn't cause any lasting issues; no arthritis, no other joint issues or bone issues. The bracing can actually cause weakness that can maybe even delay the progress of them getting better on their own. More than 90% of these kids will outgrow this, absolutely.
