Abstract
The correction and treatment of juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) remains a topic of controversy and confusion, but, at the same time, this distinct pathology serves as a basis for innovation. The variety of clinical and radiographic presentation of pediatric bunion deformities poses a challenge for the treating surgeon, who will need an armamentarium of surgical procedures to address JHV deformities. Historically, high rates of recurrence after JHV corrections as well as surgical failure have been reported.
