Management of Hallux Valgus in Metatarsus Adductus

Metatarsus adductus is common clinical entity with an estimated prevalence of approximately 30%. Multiple radiographic methods exist to evaluate the extent of the deformity, with the Sgarlato and Engel methods most commonly used. Surgical treatment varies, consisting of proximal versus distal metatarsal osteotomies, TMT arthrodesis, and realignment of the lesser rays. Particularly in severe cases, addressing all deformities is critical to obtaining a good outcome.
