Hallux varus is a clinical condition characterized by medial deviation of the great toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint, often resulting in discomfort, functional impairment, and cosmetic concerns for patients. This condition has multiple etiologies, and patients may present with various symptoms and varying severity of hallux varus. Adult-acquired hallux varus deformity is commonly iatrogenic, occurring as a result of surgery for hallux valgus. Mild hallux varus can be managed with stretching exercises and splints. However, surgery should be considered if symptoms become significant and affect daily activities.This course aims to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of hallux varus, including its etiology, diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based treatment modalities. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to evaluate and manage patients with hallux varus effectively, thereby enhancing clinical outcomes and improving patient satisfaction. This activity also highlights the role of an interprofessional team in caring for affected patients.
