Introduction The term hallux valgus was first mentioned by Carl Hueter in 1870. 1 The hallux valgus complex is characterised as a combined deformity with a malpositioning in the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint with lateral deviation

Introduction The incidence of complications of hallux valgus surgeries ranges from 10 to 55% ( 1 , 2 ). Current literature has described the complications of hallux valgus surgery and their treatment options ( 3 , 4 ). Iatrogenic transfer

Hallux valgus is one of the most common pathologies of the lower extremity. Nix et al 1 performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence of hallux valgus. In 78 reviewed papers the pooled prevalence estimated for hallux

Hallux valgus Hallux valgus deformity is the most common reason to visit a foot and ankle surgeon in Europe. The deformity occurs more commonly in females than males (8:1). Although a familiar predisposition has been identified, the aetiology

Introduction Hallux valgus is a deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ), causing pain, functional disability, and impaired gait patterns ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ). With an estimated 36% prevalence in the elderly, it is a common

orthopaedic surgeons to hold the reduction of the osteotomy in hallux valgus, hammer toe, claw toe, metatarsalgia and digitus quintus varus deformities. Due to their similarity with conventional titanium screws and larger diameter, bioabsorbable screws made

callosity over the toe. Global transverse digital deviation may also occur in long-standing cases leading to windswept deformity of the toes. 24 Hallux valgus has been associated with third and fourth metatarsal brachymetatarsia, because the first and

during mid-stance and toe-off. For example, in a planovalgus foot or even in a foot with an isolated hallux valgus deformity, forefoot hyperpronation and functional elevation of the first ray will lead to overloading of the lesser rays during mid

’s extension to limit hallux motion. 12 If the injury is more medially based and there is concern of a traumatic hallux valgus, a toe separator between the hallux and second toes can provide further support. For Grade 2 injuries, symptomatic treatment is
