Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle biomechanics

Background:

  • Hallux valgus (bunion) is a common foot deformity.
  • Understanding great toe biomechanics is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the biomechanics of the great toe.
  • To describe the pathologic anatomy of hallux valgus.
  • To outline patient evaluation and surgical decision-making for hallux valgus.

Main Methods:

  • Review of hallux valgus anatomy and biomechanics.
  • Discussion of clinical evaluation methods.
  • Explanation of surgical procedures: Akin, chevron, and Mitchell osteotomies.

Main Results:

  • Detailed presentation of the biomechanical factors contributing to hallux valgus.
