Abstract:
Hallux valgus (HV) is a common forefoot deformity that can cause pain and difficulty with walking. There are a range of surgical techniques to treat HV deformity, but there is a risk of recurrence. This article reviews the clinical assessment and management of recurrent HV as well as a detailed description of how percutaneous surgical techniques can be used to treat recurrent HV. Overall, percutaneous surgical techniques using a transverse osteotomy and distal screw fixation can successfully treat a wide range of recurrent deformity severities with significant improvement in clinical and radiographic outcomes.
