The deformity starts with a medial deviation of the first metatarsal head, followed by valgus deformity of the proximal phalanx, and a lateral shift of the sesamoids.
Patients typically present with pain over the medial bony prominence (bunion), worsened by footwear pressure, and sometimes associated with bursitis. Radiographic Metrics (Weight-bearing): Hallux Valgus Angle (HVA): Normal 40∘is greater than 40 raised to the composed with power Intermetatarsal Angle (IMA): Normal <9∘is less than 9 raised to the composed with power (between 1st and 2nd metatarsal shafts).

The etiology of hallux valgus is multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, structural anatomical issues, and environmental factors (footwear). The deformity starts with a medial deviation of

Treatment depends on symptom severity rather than the magnitude of the deformity alone. 4.1. Conservative Treatment
Hallux valgus (HV) is a complex, three-dimensional, progressive forefoot deformity characterized by medial deviation of the first metatarsal and lateral deviation of the hallux. It is a common condition, often associated with pain, reduced walking ability, and pressure on the lesser toes. This paper reviews the pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, conservative management strategies, and various surgical interventions aimed at correcting the deformity and relieving symptoms. 1.
