Abstract
Hallux valgus is the deformity of the big toe with the first metatarsophalangeal joint in static subluxation laterally accompanied by medial deviation in the first metatars. Factors playing a role in the development of hallux valgus are separated as extrinsic and intrinsic. Following trauma, hallux valgus deformity is extremely rarely seen. When it does occur after trauma to the foot, especially to the first row, the deformity usually progressively worsens. Fractures to the big toe metatarsophalangeal joint region are extremely important in this respect. When fractures in this region, which first appear to be simple fractures, are not treated, they can lead to advanced stage deformities that require complex surgical procedures. Various types of post-traumatic hallux valgus deformities have been reported in literature as case reports. We present a hallux valgus case which developed after an osteochondral fracture at the base of the proximal phalanx secondary to trauma.
