Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Surgical correction for congenital hallux varus can improve shoe wear and appearance. Soft tissue procedures and first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis yielded satisfactory outcomes, while metatarsal osteotomy resulted in complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Pediatric orthopedics
  • Foot and ankle surgery

Background:

  • Congenital hallux varus is a rare foot deformity.
  • Surgical intervention aims to correct the deformity for functional and aesthetic improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of surgical interventions for congenital hallux varus.
  • To compare the efficacy of different surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 12 patients (20 feet) with congenital hallux varus.
  • Analysis of outcomes following soft tissue procedures, first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis, and metatarsal osteotomy.

Main Results:

  • Soft tissue procedures were satisfactory in 12 of 17 feet after an average 12.7-year follow-up.

  • First metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis provided satisfactory results.
  • Metatarsal osteotomy in two feet led to unsatisfactory outcomes, including local amputation, often due to first metatarsal shortening.

    • Conclusions:

    • Soft tissue procedures and first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis are effective treatments for congenital hallux varus.
    • Metatarsal osteotomy carries a risk of complications and should be considered cautiously.
