Surgical reconstruction of a congenital foot deformity: hallux varus with brachymetatarsia of the first metatarsal.
A literature review of the etiologies and treatments of both hallux varus and brachymetatarsia is presented. An unusual case report of a young girl with bilateral congenital hallux varus and brachymetatarsia of the first metatarsal is then discussed. A detailed account of the surgical correction consisting of autogenous bone grafts from adjacent metatarsals proved to demonstrate excellent biomechanical and cosmetic results.
