Abstract:
Treatment of juvenile hallux valgus can be challenging. Initial treatment with conservative measures is appropriate until exhausted. Surgical treatment should be delayed until after skeletal maturity when possible. Before any intervention, a thorough understanding of the whole patient and any underlying systemic contributors to their hallux valgus, in addition to the radiographic foot parameters, is imperative. Careful and individualized surgical planning should be done to optimize results and decrease the risk for recurrence.
