LIMBS AND FEET
EXAMINATION OF KIDS
These should be examined for any deformity, asymmetry,
hemihypertrophy, bow legs, knock knees, edema, any swelling or limitation of
movements of the joints, etc. Do count the digits and the number of fingers and
toes. Also look for incurving of the little finger, syndactyly, simian crease,
platenychia or koilonychia, clubbing, and presence, absence or diminution of
arterial pulses. It is absolutely within normal limits for many infants to have
flat feet and bow legs.
