Hallux varus is a deformity of acquired and less commonly congenital etiologies. It can present secondary to the release of the soft tissues surrounding the first metatarsophalangeal joint surfaces during bunion surgery. If the condition is left untreated, it can be debilitating, with progressive pain and destruction of joint surfaces. Many procedures have been described for the treatment of iatrogenic causes of hallux varus; however, little has been reported regarding the success of procedures when used for less typical traumatic causes. In the present report, a case is presented of surgical repair of a traumatic hallux varus using a suture and button fixation device and 3-year patient follow-up data.

The association between varus knee deformity and morphological changes in the foot and ankle in patients with end-stage varus knee osteoarthritis.

Background: This study aimed to (1) determine the association between varus knee deformity and ipsilateral foot and ankle morphology, and (2) evaluate the relationship between varus knee deformity and foot and ankle pain in patients with end-stage varus knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: A total of 213 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty for end-stage varus KOA were enrolled in this study and divided into a 'severe varus group' (n = 119) and a 'mild varus group' (n = 94) based on preoperative knee varus degree. Morphological parameters and pain incidence in the foot and ankle were compared between the two groups.

Congenital hallux varus is an unusual condition in which the big toe is medially angulated at the metatarsophalangeal joint. Different surgical methods have been described to correct it; however, there is always a risk of recurrence. The multiplanar nature of the deformity and the disrupted anatomy from a previous surgery make recurrent cases difficult to treat.

Aims: The first metatarsal pronation deformity of hallux valgus feet is widely recognized. However, its assessment relies mostly on 3D standing CT scans. Two radiological signs, the first metatarsal round head (RH) and inferior tuberosity position (ITP), have been described, but are seldom used to aid in diagnosis.

Hallux rigidus is a common degenerative condition of first metatarso-phalangeal joint most commonly affecting patients above 50 years of age. The aim of our study is to evaluate the five-year results of synthetic cartilage implant (Cartiva) arthroplasty for hallux rigidus. A retrospective study of 70 patients who underwent synthetic cartilage implant interpositional arthroplasty were collected and analysed.
