Abstract

Introduction: congenital Hallux varus is a rare deformity that may be associated with other deformities.

Clinical case: male patient, 18 years old. He goes to the consultation for presenting a foot deformity and inability to walk and wear shoes. Physical examination revealed medial angulation of the first toe at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint and a 90-degree varus deformity. An X-ray of the anteposterior right foot was indicated.

Discussion: X-ray showed varus angulation of the right metatarsophalangeal joint. Treatment of the deformity is by surgical correction, and several techniques have been described.

Conclusion: primary congenital Hallux varus of the right foot is considered as a diagnosis. The deformity treatment was surgical with Framer's technique, which turned out to be effective.
