Abstract

An unusual case of idiopathic hallux varus is reported in this paper. A 63 year-old woman presented with hallux varus deformity accompanied with pain and showed no evidence of underlying inflammatory disease nor history of trauma. This case had 42 degrees of the pre-operative varus deformity. Muscle release and reconstruction without osteotomy resulted in good alignment of the great toe and the patient was cured of gait disturbance with pain.
