Home » Congenital Hallux Varus Treatment in Indore
Congenital hallux varus is a rare foot deformity present at birth, characterized by a deviation of the big toe (hallux) away from the midline of the foot, pointing inward toward the other toes. Unlike acquired hallux varus, which may develop later in life due to various factors, congenital hallux varus is typically attributed to abnormal development of the foot during fetal development. This condition may occur in isolation or in association with other congenital foot deformities. Congenital hallux varus can vary in severity, ranging from mild to severe, and may affect one or both feet.
Treatment for congenital hallux varus depends on the severity of the deformity and its impact on foot function and development. In mild cases, conservative measures such as stretching exercises, splinting, taping, and custom orthotic devices may be recommended to help realign the toe and promote normal foot development. In more severe cases or when conservative measures fail to provide adequate correction, surgical intervention may be necessary. Surgical options for congenital hallux varus may include soft tissue releases, tendon transfers, corrective osteotomies, or joint fusions to realign the toe and restore proper foot alignment and function.

Diagnosis is typically based on a clinical examination, medical history, and imaging studies such as X-rays to assess the alignment and structure of the foot and toes.
Symptoms may include a visible deviation of the big toe away from the midline of the foot, difficulty wearing shoes, and cosmetic concerns. In some cases, congenital hallux varus may be associated with other foot deformities or developmental abnormalities.
Treatment may include conservative measures such as stretching exercises, splinting, taping, and custom orthotic devices to promote normal foot development. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to realign the toe and restore proper foot alignment and function.
