title: Post-traumatic acute hallux valgus: a case report.
abstract: Hallux valgus and tibial fractures are common conditions in trauma and orthopaedics. To date, there has been no report of acute hallux valgus developing secondary to a tibial fracture. We report the case of acute post-traumatic hallux valgus due to compression of the medial plantar nerve in the tarsal tunnel.
