    Section of the abductor hallucis tendon for correction of metatarsus varus deformity.

    Abstract

    Section of the abductor hallucis tendon is recommended for early correction of the metatarsus adductus deformity especially in the residual of a treated equinovarus foot. The operation is simple and safe, with very little postoperative morbidity. The effectiveness of the procedure is enhanced if a tight abductor hallucis tendon is demonstrated. The operation may also be helpful in conjunction with other surgical procedures for correction of the varus deformity of a clubfoot.
