calling all Peds MSK experts or know-it-alls, XR feet

I have already spent a ridiculous amount of time searching references and online images to no avail…even pried an ancient volume of Caffey’s off my shelf…which provided some exercise…in futility….The history is Metatarsus Adductus…which we see, but please clarify if the ossification pattern at the 2nd metatarsal bases is normal (to quote my beloved teacher / colleague Buzzy Nathanson…"if it’s bilateral it’s either normal…or really bad")
I presume that the bifid epiphyses of the 2-5th MT heads and the cone epiphyses of the 2nd and 3rd toes are normal variants.
My inclination is to read it all as normal variants—-but I’m really not certain.
