Hallux varus deformity most commonly occurs as a complication of bunion surgery. Surgical option depends on the underlying cause, flexibility of the deformity, and presence of osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Joint-preserving surgery including medial soft tissue release, metatarsal osteotomy, and tendon transfer can be considered in flexible deformity without degeneration of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis is indicated in cases of inflammatory arthritis, avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, neuromuscular disorder, or failed previous hallux varus corrective surgery. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the technique of arthroscopic arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint to correct hallux varus deformity. It has the potential advantages of less surgical trauma, preservation of blood supply, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results.
