To find out the prevalence of hallux valgus in normal individuals. The lateral deviation of the big toe at the first metatarsophalangeal joint is also known as Hallux valgus and is frequently common in women’s. The primary function of the foot is to control the body weight and to serve as a part of lever for its proper functioning. Basically body weight and the strain falls along with the centre of the foot and maintain the balance there by surrounding muscular activity. By any chance if this normal synchronization is disturbed in the performance of their function, in spite of accommodative power of nature to disease and deformity. Cross sectional study 200 male and female with or without foot pain were included. 38.59% and 31.46% of male and female have hallux valgus of right foot out of total samples. 45.61% and 39.15% of male and female have hallux valgus of left foot out of total samples. The result of the study concluded that the prevalence of hallux valgus deformity was greater in an older-aged group than the young-aged group and among which showed left foot was more commonly affected in both males and females. It also showed that it does not affect functional activity in normal young individual.

Hallux valgus is characterized by the appearance and growth of a painful “lump” in the region of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the development of forefoot corns, and inability to choose the right shoes, which leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life of these patients. Corrective osteotomies that preserve the metatarsophalangeal joint, for example Austin (Chevron) osteotomy, are usually used for hallux valgus deformity of the I, II degrees. Radiography with the study of the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is a research method that shows the true correlation between bone structures. The correlation between the radiological and functional indicators of osteotomy allows us to determine possible recommendations for indications for surgical treatment of Hallux valgus. Correlation shows that the largest correction of hallux valgus in older patients occurs due to a small adjustment of the angle of DMMA and HVA. IMA had the best correction after Austin osteotomy among patients of a younger age, then the HVA, and the DMMA had minimum correction according to the AOFAS rating scale (Kitaoka). The revealed correlations allow us to determine the correct tactics for the treatment of hallux valgus by identifying the benefits of Austin osteotomy.

Today, bunion surgery is still controversial. Considering that a bunion deformity in fact may be a result of multiple causes, the rationale of the currently applied techniques of surgical treatment has not been conclusively demonstrated. In view of the known hypermobility syndrome of the first ray that results in insufficient weightbearing beneath the first metatarsal head, the relationship between this syndrome and hallux valgus deformity has been investigated. The results suggest a direct relationship between painful hallux valgus deformity and hypermobility in extension of the first tarsometatarsal joint. A pathological mechanism of symptomatic hallux valgus is proposed that relates this pathology with primary weightbearing disturbances in the forefoot where angulation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is one of the consequences. The alignment of the metatarsal heads within the sagittal plane seems to be a main concern in many hallux valgus deformities. As a consequence, treatment includes reestablishing stable sagittal alignment in addition to the horizontal reposition of the metatarsal over the sesamoid complex. As an example, first tarsometatarsal reorientation arthrodesis regulates the elasticity of the multiarticular first ray within the sagittal plane and may be the treatment of choice in many hallux valgus deformities.

The modified McBride technique is widely used in bunion surgery. The aim of this report is to analyze the influence that transferring the adductor hallucis tendon had on the first intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux abductus angle (HAA), and tibial sesamoid position (TSP) when used to correct the hallux valgus deformity. A prospective study was conducted of 31 hallux abducto valgus patients. A modified McBride procedure was performed to repair the deformity. In 16 patients (group 1), the adductor tendon was transferred, and in 15 (group 2), it was not. The tendon transfer was at random. The preoperative and postoperative variables IMA, HAA, and TSP were measured and analyzed by means of univariate and multivariate statistics. In group 1, the preoperative values of the first IMA and the HAA averaged 13.5° and 30°, respectively, decreasing postoperatively to 10.3° and 10.7°. In group 2, the corresponding preoperative angles were 12.9° and 25.6°, and the postoperative angles were 9.7° and 10°. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in the correction of the IMA, HAA, and TSP. As measured by the aforementioned radiographic measurements, there is no advantage in transferring the adductor hallucis tendon to the first metatarsophalangeal joint capsule in the correction of hallux valgus

Pes planus of the foot is believed to be an important etiological factor in hallux valgus. This study compares the degree of pes planus in normal and hallux valgus feet. The arch index, or ratio of the area of the middle third of the foot to the total footprint area, was calculated on 128 footprints. An unpaired t-test determined no significant difference between the arch index of 32 11-year-old children with hallux valgus and 11-year-olds with no first metatarsophalangeal joint deformity ( P >.05). The height of the arch is not relevant to the hallux valgus deformity. Arch supports designed to raise the height of the arch can play only a palliative role in the management of the condition.

Background: Hallux valgus is a deformity characterized by a change in the shape of the thumb with symptoms of swelling, redness and pain. Hallux valgus is progressive where there is a lump at the base of the thumb which can occur due to the weakness of the muscles and ligaments around the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index and the type of foot arches on the risk of hallux valgus in children aged 13–14 years.  Methods: This research is a cross sectional analytic study with simple random sampling technique. The number of samples are 99 children (39 males, 60 females) aged 13–14 years. The variables measured were body mass index using body weight scales and a stature meter, the type of foot arches using a wet footprint test, and hallux valgus with a goniometer.Results: Our study shows that there is no significant correlation between body mass index and hallux valgus at the level of 0.157. However, there is a significant correlation between the type of foot arches and hallux valgus at the 0.003 level. In addition, there is a significant correlation between body mass index and foot arches.  Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between body mass index and foot arches and foot arches with the risk of hallux valgus. However, body mass index is not directly related to hallux valgus condition.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the results of an arthrodesis technique of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) using a precontoured dorsal plate to correct the hallux valgus deformity. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of outcomes for first MTPJ arthrodesis performed using 2 precontoured dorsal plates. Radiographic outcomes (intermetatarsal angle [IMA] and hallux valgus angle [HVA]) and patient-reported functional outcome measures (Short-Form 12 and Foot and Ankle Outcome Score) were recorded and compared. Results: Fifty-five patients underwent 77 first MTPJ arthrodeses for severe hallux valgus deformity with associated degenerative changes at the first MTPJ. The mean reduction of the IMA was 5.67° ( P < .05) and the mean reduction of the HVA was 33° ( P < .05). The Short-Form 12 assessment of global health demonstrated a significant improvement in both the physical and mental health composite scores by 16.4 points and 10.4 points ( P < .05), respectively. The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score demonstrated a cumulative decrease of 35% (59.28; P < .05) in all domains. Conclusions: First MTPJ arthrodesis using a precontoured dorsal plate is a successful procedure with a high union rate, low complication rate, and a high level of patient-reported satisfaction. Levels of Evidence: Level III.

We reviewed the results of the Keller arthroplasty in combination with resection arthroplasty of the forefoot in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Of the 29 patients (49 feet) in the series, 20 had involvement of both feet and nine had involvement of a single foot. The average age of the patients was 55.4 years, and the average follow-up period was 4.9 years. All feet had resection of the lesser metatarsal heads, resection of the base of the proximal phalanges of the lesser toe, and a Keller arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The results were satisfactory in 16 feet, satisfactory with some reservations in 21 feet, satisfactory with major reservations in seven feet, and unsatisfactory in five feet. For 40 of the 49 feet (82%), the patients stated that they would repeat the procedure, knowing the results achieved. The major causes of patient reservations and lack of satisfaction were return of the hallux valgus deformity and pain (53%), forefoot instability (27%), and continuing metatarsalgia (20%). Resection arthroplasty of the lesser metatarsophalangeal joints of the forefoot in rheumatoid disease is a satisfactory procedure. When used in combination with Keller resection arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, however, an increased number of unsatisfactory results occur, attributable to returning pain and deformity of that joint.
