Abstract

The presence of metatarsus adductus (MTA) adds complexity to the diagnosis and treatment of hallux valgus (HV). Identification and careful analysis of these combined deformities is of paramount importance. The inability to completely correct HV and an increased incidence of recurrence has been established when MTA deformity is present. We present an option for correction of the combined deformities with multiplanar angular correction arthrodesis of the first, second, and third tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints.
