Abstract
- Osteopetrosis is a very rare hereditary musculoskeletal disorder with an unknown cause. There are few reports on this condition with most focusing on long bone fractures. Most patients with osteopetrosis require non-surgical treatment and surgery is technically difficult. Hallux valgus deformities in patients with osteopetrosis are always severe and there are no reports on its treatment. We treated a hallux valgus deformity using triple osteotomy method and experienced nonunion, subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and screw breakage. This is the first report of the surgical treatment of such a case in Korea. We report this case with a review of the relevant literature.
