Post-burn hallux varus: a case report and management of a rare deformity.
Post-burn hallux varus is an extremely rare condition. A 22-year-old male, with a history of campfire burns in childhood, presented with secondary hallux varus of the left great toe. Surgical correction included medial soft tissue release, metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis, two-pin fixation of bones, metatarsophalangeal joint capsulorrhaphy, and coverage of the skin defect with a "Z" plasty of the skin and split thickness skin grafting. Follow up 20 months later showed satisfactory results.
