Abstract
The authors reviewed available publications concerning the dorsal bunion, a vertical deformity of the first ray of the foot. After describing the clinical side and the usual patient complaints, they analyse the lesion's mechanisms, based on the muscular imbalance of the foot and its joints and describe the causes to the dorsal bunion, especially clubfoot and its surgical correction. The numerous surgical treatments of the dorsal bunion are detailed by order of publication. Then the authors report a recent case of dorsal bunion with illustrations before and after surgery.
