Congenital hallux varus is an unusual condition in which the big toe is medially angulated at the metatarsophalangeal joint. Different surgical methods have been described to correct it; however, there is always a risk of recurrence. The multiplanar nature of the deformity and the disrupted anatomy from a previous surgery make recurrent cases difficult to treat. A 16-year-old adolescent boy presented with a recurrent hallux varus deformity after a previous surgical correction. This case report describes its successful treatment using a hexapod circular external fixator as a salvage procedure.
