Abstract:
Metatarsus adductus is common congenital deformity. Usually during growth, the deformity resolves. If the deformity persists, it can be associated with hallux valgus (HV) deformity. There is high prevalence (30%) of metatarsal angle (MTA) in patients having HV. There are lateral toe deformities associated with this setting. Correction HV associated with metatarsus adductus is a challenging surgery, and the outcomes have been disappointing over the years. The surgical approach should address all the deformities-the HV, the MTA, and the lateral toes deformities at the same setting. Minimal invasive surgery enables efficient correction of HV deformity.
