Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hallux valgus is a hereditary deformity whose natural history is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The deformity is infrequently noticed in newborns and infants because of its trivial nature that does not draw attention. Because in childhood and adolescence this deformity usually does not lead to functional disability, it is seldom treated actively. Opinions differ concerning the causal relationship of these deformities propriate treatment. It is clear, however, that the deviated great toe continues to deform, and leads to a chain of anatomical and functional changel. Thus, the advantages of the immediate treatment is obvious, especially in infancy, when the foot is supple. We are reporting one case of congenital hallux valgus with brief review of literature.
