Juvenile hallux valgus with compensated metatarsus adductus. Case report

KT Mahan and J Jacko
Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, Philadelphia 19107.

The authors describe a case report of a patient with compensated metatarsus adductus and juvenile hallux valgus bilaterally. Treatment included closing base wedge abductory osteotomies of metatarsals one through five, modified McBride bunionectomy, Evans calcaneal osteotomy, and a percutaneous tendo Achillis lengthening. The patient maintained excellent correction on the right foot after 6 years. Hallux valgus recurred on the left foot after 2 years. The authors attribute this recurrence to a significant internal femoral torsion on the left leg. The significance of superstructural deformities on juvenile hallux valgus is discussed.
