Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Summary

Hallux valgus in children, or juvenile bunions, are uncommon foot deformities. Conservative treatment is recommended until skeletal maturity to prevent recurrence, as surgery in children has a high recurrence rate.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Orthopedics
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Skeletal Deformities

Background:

Hallux valgus in children, also known as juvenile bunion, is an uncommon foot deformity.
The condition is characterized by forefoot deviation and is often associated with an open growth plate.
Alternative names include adolescent bunion, metatarsus primus varus, and metatarsus primus adductus.

Purpose of the Study:

To define hallux valgus in pediatric populations.
To discuss the cosmetic and clinical presentation of juvenile bunions.
To outline appropriate management strategies for this condition in children.

Main Methods:

Literature review on pediatric hallux valgus.
Analysis of diagnostic criteria, including age and skeletal maturity.

Keywords:

Childhood hallux valgus Open physes Orthotics and braces Surgical intervention

Evaluation of treatment outcomes for conservative and surgical interventions.

Main Results:

The definition of pediatric hallux valgus often includes the presence of an open growth plate, though some extend the age range to 20 years.
The primary patient complaint is the cosmetic appearance of the bunion.
High recurrence rates are observed following surgical correction in skeletally immature patients.

Conclusions:

Hallux valgus in children requires careful consideration due to its unique presentation and treatment challenges.
Conservative management is the preferred initial approach.
Surgical intervention should be deferred until skeletal maturity to minimize the risk of recurrence.
