Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Reconstruction
  • Podiatric Medicine

Background:

  • Hallux varus deformity often arises from overcorrection during hallux valgus surgery.
  • Flexible hallux varus can be managed with soft-tissue procedures like tendon transfers.
  • Previous literature lacks reports of bilateral hallux varus linked to pregnancy-related laxity and iatrogenic injury.

Observation:

  • A patient developed isolated bilateral hallux varus following pregnancy and prior bunion surgery.
  • This presentation is unique due to the combination of factors: pregnancy-induced ligamentous laxity and surgical iatrogenic injury.

Findings:

  • Simultaneous surgical correction of bilateral hallux varus was performed using the Mini TightRope device.
  • The procedure resulted in successful pain relief for the patient.

  • The patient experienced a return to regular activities and ability to wear normal footwear.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare complication of hallux valgus surgery in the context of pregnancy.
    • The Mini TightRope device offers a viable surgical option for correcting complex bilateral hallux varus.
    • Further research may explore the interplay of hormonal changes and surgical interventions in foot deformities.
