In Spanish, it means intoeing or pigeon toe, to refer to someone who has legs like this.

It is more obvious in children who are also knock-kneed and even more marked in children who have a degree of intoeing gait due to persistent femoral neck anteversion.

Excessive in-toeing may be caused by a variety of underlying difficulties, such as hip joint problems.

The cause of in-toeing can be differentiated based on the location of the disalignment.

Decreased external rotation of the hip; if external rotation is less than 20°, in-toeing may result.

In-toeing (persistent femoral anteversion)

However, if the in-toeing is severe, seems to involve the leg and hip as well as the foot, or isn't improving by the time your child is around one and a half to two years of age, see your podiatrist for assessment.
