Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatry
  • Foot and Ankle Deformities

Background:

  • Acquired hallux varus frequently develops post-hallux valgus surgery.
  • Deformities can manifest in sagittal and coronal planes at the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the anatomy, incidence, pathogenesis, evaluation, classification, and treatment of acquired hallux varus.
  • To highlight the necessity of assessing metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joint mobility for surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of acquired hallux varus.
  • Discussion of diagnostic evaluations and classification systems.
  • Analysis of various treatment modalities.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Acquired hallux varus presents with multiplanar deformities at the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • Joint mobility assessment is crucial for determining appropriate management.
  • Non-surgical options may be suitable for some patients.

Conclusions:

  • Acquired hallux varus is a complex condition often linked to prior hallux valgus surgery.
  • Comprehensive evaluation including joint mobility is essential.
  • Treatment should be individualized, considering non-operative and operative approaches.
