Background: Hallux valgus deformity is a common condition and several surgical treatments are discussed in the literature. The main purpose of this study is to review the literature concerning rehabilitation treatment following hallux valgus surgery. Methods: The present literature review is performed by searching the following databases: PubMed and Embase using the Medical Subject Headings ter...

The authors present the case of a 54-year-old female who developed a painful compression lesion localized to the medial aspect of the base of the distal phalanx of the great toe as a complication of hallux valgus surgery. Preoperative radiographic evaluation of the patient’s foot revealed the first ray to be longer than the second, a 12° first intermetatarsal angle, a 33° hallux abductus angle,...

BACKGROUND Hallux valgus still remains a problem in orthopaedic surgery, a fact attested to by over a hundred operating procedures for the correction of this deformity that have been elaborated until now. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of the McBride procedure for surgical correction of the hallux valgus deformity using an anatomic & functional foot scoring system and roentgen...

[Purpose] Hallux valgus is one of the most common deformations of the human foot, and it causes great difficulties for the patients. The aim of this paper was to review available medical literature in search of evidence which would justify implementation of physiotherapy, based on its effectiveness for patients with hallux valgus. [Subjects and Methods] The following databases were searched for...

INTRODUCTION The aetiology of hallux valgus is almost certainly multifactoral. The biomechanics of the first ray is a common factor to most. There is very little literature examining the anatomy of the proximal metatarsal articular surface and its relationship to hallux valgus deformity. METHODS We examined 42 feet from 23 specimens in this anatomical dissection study. RESULTS This analysis...

551 Hallux abducto valgus is one of the most common deformities encountered in podiatric medical practice. Hallux abducto valgus, commonly referred to as a bunion, may have two components: a rigid or structural component and a dynamic or flexible one. One component usually predominates over the other. The dynamic or flexible component is reducible clinically or after lateral soft-tissue release...

BACKGROUND Application of plane geometry to the study of bunion deformity may represent an interesting and novel approach in the research field of hallux valgus. For the purpose of contributing to development of a different perspective in the assessment of hallux valgus, this study was conducted with three objectives: a) to determine the position on the intersection point of the perpendicular b...

Background: Algorithms have been developed to aid in the decision process in order to choose an optimal surgical procedure for different types of hallux valgus. These algorithms are evaluated in this study with current level 1 and 2 studies. Materials and methods: Criteria for typing hallux valgus and surgical procedures in the treatment algorithms as proposed by Coughlin and Robinson were cate...

background:   hallux valgus deformity is a common chronic problem in middle age and elderly. different surgical procedures have been introduced so far with their proposed indications for each. this study aimed to compare three   current procedures namely chevron osteotomy, scarf osteotomy and mcbride technique.     methods:   in this study, 44 patients were included from 2010 to 2013. all patie...
