Abstract:
A case of fixed matatarsus Varus developed in right foot in 10 years old girl is reported, which was reduced surgically. Roentgenologically the navicular bone was showed to be displaced laterally from the head of talus and all metatarsals were angulated medially. Though most deformies should be corrected by the use of corrective cast, this deformity was treated surgically without initial conservative method. After surgery and cast immobilization the foot was corrected and function is good.
