Abstract

Objective: Describe the epidemiology, treatment, and clinical and radiographic results of traumatic hallux valgus associated with lateral metatarsal injuries. Methods: Clinical and radiographic evaluation (hallux valgus angle) of seven patients who suffered traffic accidents and presented post-traumatic hallux valgus associated with lateral metatarsal injuries. Radiographic measurements and clinical functional outcomes were evaluated with a minimum 12 months of follow-up. Results: All patients were submitted to medial ligament repair to treat post-traumatic hallux valgus and fixation of the associatedfractures. In a minimum 12 months of follow-up, the patients evolved well, without pain, with a mean hallux valgus angle of 13.7 degrees. Conclusion: Cases of post-traumatic hallux valgus associated with lateral metatarsal injury, treated with ligament repair and fixation of associated fractures, showed radiographic improvement and maintained until the final evaluation after 12 months of follow-up. Level of Evidence IV; Therapeutic Studies; Case Series.
