Abstract:
Hallux valgus is a common pathology of the foot and ankle. Surgical correction of the condition has been described as early as 1836. Since then, numerous different surgical techniques have been documented in the literature. One of the explanations as to why there are so many different surgeries for hallux valgus is the variety of etiologies attributed to causing the condition. This article discusses the etiologies associated with hallux valgus and describes a few of the surgeries commonly used to treat the deformity.
