| Abstract: | Hallux valgus (HV) deformity is associated with hindfoot valgus deformity. We experienced a case that suggests the possibility that valgus correction for varus hindfoot with bony ankylosis of the subtalar joint by total ankle arthroplasty may have caused a forefoot HV deformity, despite adequate valgus correction. |
