Purpose of study:

Congenital hallux varus is a rare condition presenting with medial deviation of the big toe. It consists of 2 variants: classical congenital hallux varus caused by an abnormal metatarsal-phalangeal articulation, and a more recently described variant due to a “bracket physis” of the first metatarsal.

Our aim was to perform an audit of the spectrum of presentation of congenital hallux varus with its management and complications in our unit over a five year period.

Description of methods:

A retrospective review of congenital hallux varus treated by a single surgeon was performed. Clinical notes, photographs and x-rays were reviewed. Two surgical methods of treatment were used as directed by clinical and radiological findings.
