Recurrent congenital hallux varus in adolescents can be challenging. This case report details successful treatment of a severe recurrent deformity using a hexapod circular external fixator.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Pediatric orthopedics
- Foot and ankle reconstruction
Background:
- Congenital hallux varus is a rare condition characterized by medial angulation of the big toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint.
- Surgical correction carries a risk of recurrence, particularly in complex or previously operated cases.
- Recurrent deformities present significant challenges due to multiplanar nature and disrupted anatomy.
