I have something called "duck foot" in one of my feet. How can I fix it? I feel really bad when I walk around like this outside.

An orthopedist or sports medicine doctor can assess duck feet with an exam and gait analysis. They look at hip rotation, tibial torsion, and foot mechanics to determine whether the issue is functional (muscle/control-related) or structural (bone alignment).
In most cases, targeted physical therapy is the main treatment. This focuses on hip control, internal rotation strength, leg alignment, and gait retraining. Improvement usually takes 8–16 weeks.
Orthotics or insoles can help with stability if foot mechanics contribute, but they don’t correct the alignment itself.
Surgery is rare It s only considered...

Surgery is rare It s only considered for clear structural problems (like femoral retroversion or severe tibial torsion) with pain or functional limitations. The surgery called a derotational osteotomy is major and requires a long recovery so it’s reserved for severe cases.
