Acquired Hallux Varus. Etiology, Pathology, Classification, and Treatment Algorithm. Literature Review.

Iatrogenic hallux varus is formed due to an imbalance between the bone, tendon, and ligamentous-articular structures in the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MJ), with the progression of the medial deviation of the big toe.
