    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric Medicine
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Hallux deformities are frequently observed, particularly in individuals with co-occurring conditions like mycotic nails and subungual exostosis.
    • The prevalence of this specific hallux deformity may be underestimated in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a common hallux deformity.
    • To present a surgical technique for correcting this hallux deformity.
    • To evaluate the functional outcome of the surgical correction on the hallux.

    Main Methods:

    • A tenotomy-capsulotomy procedure targeting the distal interphalangeal joint of the hallux was performed.
    • The surgical technique was detailed for reproducibility.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The described hallux deformity is associated with mycotic nails and subungual exostosis.
  • The tenotomy-capsulotomy effectively corrects the hallux deformity.
  • The surgical intervention preserves the function of the hallux at the metatarsophalangeal joint.

    • Conclusions:

    • A tenotomy-capsulotomy at the distal interphalangeal joint is an effective treatment for this hallux deformity.
    • This surgical approach ensures the preservation of hallux function at the metatarsophalangeal joint.
