Abstract
Recurrence is a common complication after surgical correction of hallux valgus deformity. The reported incidence of recurrence after hallux valgus surgery has been shown to be as high as 64.7%. It has now received acceptance that a hallux valgus angle of more than 20° and an intermetatarsal angle of more than 10° should be classified as a recurrence. For the adequate correction, a number of different techniques need to be considered. According to the literature for more severe deformities, the arthrodesis of either the tarsometatarsal joint or the metatarsophalangeal joint seems to be the technique of choice.
