  • Title: Reverse Austin osteotomy for correction of acquired static hallux adductus.
    Author: Butler M, Keating SE, DeVincentis AF.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1988; 27(2):162-5. PubMed ID: 3372951.
    Abstract:
    Hallux adductus, a horizontal plane deformity, often has an iatrogenic etiology especially as a complication of hallux abducto valgus surgery. A case at Sheridan Park Hospital is described in which the patient developed a steadily worsening static hallux adductus following foot surgery. She underwent further corrective procedures for the hallux adductus 11/2 years later. The authors conclude that if a mild static hallux adductus is observed in conjunction with bunionectomy or other surgery, it should be corrected at that time rather than some years later.
