Traumatic hallux varus repair utilizing a soft-tissue anchor: A case report

Gradual Correction of Traumatic Hallux Varus With Metatarsal Hemicallotasis

“…Although acquired hallux varus is most often seen after bunion surgery, trauma can also be a cause (2,3,10,11). Traumatic injuries that disrupt the lateral stabilizing structure (e.g., adductor hallucis or lateral head of the flexor hallucis brevis) can lead to MTP joint instability, resulting in medial deviation of the hallux.…”

“…Hallux varus is usually a postoperative complication after correction of hallux valgus (2,3). Other causes have included congenital (4-7) or idiopathic (2,8) defects, inflammatory arthritis (2,4,9), trauma (2,3,10,11), poliomyelitis (12), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (13), avascular necrosis (14), and contractures due to burns (15). Of these etiologies, traumatic hallux varus associated with osseous deformity, especially in the case of a decreased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), is an extremely challenging, but rewarding, deformity to treat.…”

Hallux Malleus develops after Flexible Hallux Varus correction with Tensioned Suture Device: A Case Report

“…Case studies using various TSD systems have shown adequate HV correction without complications. 6,7,9 Postoperative progression of EHL contracture caused worsening of HM and recurrence of HV. However, after EHL lengthening, TSD realigned HV deformity without other manipulations or procedures.…”

“…Several articles have demonstrated adequate correction of HV using TSD. 6,7,9 Complications have not been described with use of TSD about the first MTPJ but complications have been described when used in ankle fracture repairs. Knot and button irritation, foreign body reaction with poorly healing wounds, infection and loosening of TSD secondary to osteolysis have been described.…”

Traumatic Hallux Varus Treated by Minimally Invasive Extensor Hallucis Brevis Tenodesis

“…Hallux varus has been described as a triplane deformity consisting of a medially deviated, hammered hallux in a varus rotation [ 1 – 3 ]. It is often associated with pain, functional impairment, difficulty with shoe gear, and cosmetic dissatisfaction.…”
