Hallux Valgus Detection

The hallux valgus test is an examination of the eversion of the thumb and is used for pre-operative diagnosis. X-ray findings include the lateral subluxation of the metacarpophalangeal joint, the shift of the big toe to the midline, the medial bone of the first metatarsal head protruding and hardening, and the sesam bone displaced to the outside. The first metatarsal varus, the angle between the first and second metatarsals was >9°. In the advanced stage, the first metatarsophalangeal joint undergoes degenerative changes, the joint space is narrowed, and there is a callus at the periphery of the joint. Although the hallux valgus is not beautiful in the early stage, it is difficult to select shoes and it is easy to damage the shape of the shoe, it has not brought too much discomfort to people. However, with the increase of age, the degree of hallux valgus deformity will increase, and many serious complications such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, claw-toe, corns, foot pads, flat feet, and cross-bow collapse will occur.
