Do radiological parameters affect quality of life in patients with untreated and symptomatic hallux valgus?

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect disease on quality life (QoL) in patients with not operated symptomatic hallux valgus (HV) and relationship between degree deformity classified by radiological parameters QoL. Methods: In prospective study, 100 (33 males, 67 females; mean age 49.25 ± 15.20 years; range 18 75 years) who were admitted our institution diagnosed HV March 2019 February 2020 included. Hallux angle (HVA) intermetatarsal (IMA) used assess deformity. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Foot Function Index (FFI), 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) instruments evaluate patients. Results: severity HVA associated SF-36 scores for physical health, social functioning, bodily pain, general mental health (p < 0.05). Differences found degrees IMA A significant statistical correlation was observed pain VAS IMA. Higher FFI recorded from participants high However, no radiographic FFI. Conclusions: it shown that QoL decreased as increased addition, concluded a more basic predictor than evaluation
