title: Surgical correction of hallux abducto valgus in a cerebral palsy patient. A 5-year follow-up.
abstract: This article reviews the causes of foot deformities in patients with cerebral palsy. The authors underscore the necessity for a total evaluation of such patients. It is believed that the patient described in this article showed a recurrence of the hallux deformity due to failure to control the causative factors of this condition. Postoperative management with braces or orthoses may well have prevented recurrence.
