Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes01:28

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

5.1K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

8.2K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

14.7K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

8.9K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

9.0K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Hallux valgus, a complex foot deformity, disproportionately affects women and lacks treatments to halt its progression. Surgery is an option when conservative methods fail, but carries risks like infection and recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Podiatry
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Hallux valgus is a prevalent foot condition with multifactorial, complex, and poorly understood etiology and progression.
  • This progressive disorder exhibits a predilection for women and currently has no known non-surgical interventions to slow or halt its advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of hallux valgus, including its causes, progression, and treatment options.
  • To discuss the indications, surgical procedures, and potential adverse effects associated with hallux valgus correction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on hallux valgus.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques and outcomes for hallux valgus correction.
  • Evaluation of the factors influencing procedural choice based on deformity severity.

Main Results:

  • Hallux valgus is a progressive condition with unknown causes, predominantly affecting women.
  • Nonoperative treatments are available, but surgery is often required for severe cases.
  • Surgical outcomes can be complicated by infection and recurrence, with procedure selection dependent on deformity severity.

Conclusions:

  • Hallux valgus management requires careful consideration of nonoperative and surgical options.
  • Surgical intervention for hallux valgus carries inherent risks that must be weighed against potential benefits.
  • The choice of surgical procedure for hallux valgus should be tailored to the individual patient's deformity characteristics.
