Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital hallux varus is a rare hereditary big toe deformity.
  • It may present with polydactyly or systemic skeletal deformities.
  • Clinical diagnosis is straightforward; X-rays provide detailed bony information.

Observation:

  • Preoperative sketches guide surgical planning for bony and soft tissue correction.
  • Correction extent is tailored to the deformity's severity.
  • Soft tissue flap planning is crucial for wound closure due to first ray reorientation.

Findings:

  • Congenital hallux varus presents distinct clinical and radiological features.
  • Step-by-step operative treatment is detailed with visual aids.
  • The study compares presented surgical methods with existing literature.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention is mandatory for hallux varus, ideally between 9 and 24 months of age.
  • Thorough planning of surgical steps and alternatives is advocated for microsurgical correction.
  • This approach ensures favorable functional and cosmetic results in pediatric patients.
