Abstract
It has been believed that the correction of metatarsus primus varus (MPV) deformity of hallux valgus foot using nonosteotomy procedures would be compromised by the presence of os intermetatarseum (OI). Therefore, no soft tissue procedure has ever been reported for the correction of MPV deformity of hallux valgus foot.This is a case report of a female patient with bilateral hallux valgus deformity and also a large OI of her left foot that was corrected, satisfactorily and simultaneously, with a soft tissue technique called syndesmosis procedure, without osteotomy or OI resection. Excellent feet function was observed for 2 years until her last follow-up examination without any symptoms or signs of problems relating to the OI in her left foot.This case report demonstrated for the first time that OI may not interfere with proper MPV deformity correction because it can be preexisting and X-ray can be misleading.
