Why UNFO

Why use UNFO

There is currently no specific treatment for metatarsus adductus (MTA), leading to a certain amount of confusion over when and how to treat MTA in infants.

The lack of a specific solution for MTA has left orthopedic centers no choice but to adapt the casting technique indicated for club foot.

This casting technique comes with a number of disadvantages and complications.

Due to the problematic casting procedures in MTA, there have been some understatements and compromising attitudes about the treatment indications.

There is no doubt that most complications and surgical interventions can be avoided by adequate treatment in the first months of an infant’s life.
