Abstract

Control of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity is an important factor related to the development of hallux valgus (HV) deformity. Furthermore, if valgus hindfoot remains and/or appears after HV surgery, the affected foot is at risk of recurrence of HV deformity. We experienced a case suggesting the possibility that hindfoot valgus deformity appeared after HV surgery because of poor control of RA disease activity, and the HV deformity recurred in the very early period after surgery.
