Brachymetatarsia of the first metatarsal is uncommon. It may occur as a congenital condition. Hallux varus is the name given to a medially deviated position of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with a nonpurchasing hallux in varus position. To have a patient with not only both hallux varus and brachymetatarsia, but for the brachymetatarsia to occur about the first metatarsal, is extremly rare. We experienced a case of the brachymetatarsia of the first metatarsal with hallux varus treated by callotasis. Excellent cosmetical and funtional outcome were obtained. So we reporting the case with a review of the literatures.
