In the preoperative period, 02 children (18.2%) presented mild deformity, 08 children (72.7%) presented moderate deformity and one child (9.1%) presented severe deformity. [oatext.com]

Symptoms have often been present for some time before presentation, however have worsened in frequency and intensity On examination, assess position and lateral deviation of the hallux (Fig. 2) and check for evidence of inflammation or skin breakdown [teachmesurgery.com]

Presentation Presentation is usually as a result of pain, although the condition is also unsightly. Pain is usually progressive and may have been present for many years. [patient.info]

The SERI technique (as abbreviated to stand for simple, effective, rapid and inexpensive) was presented by several authors to be a minimally invasive technique since it presents with the same advantages as the percutaneous techniques with less tissue [clinicaltrials.gov]

Anteroposterior and lateral weight-bearing radiographs of the entire foot are crucial for adequate assessment in the treatment of hallux valgus. Non-operative treatment of the hallux valgus cannot correct the deformity. [online.boneandjoint.org.uk]

Medical treatment Treatment Largely, the treatment of a hallux valgus deviation can be summarized up in a few words: “Either the patient adapts the footwear to the foot, or the foot should be adapted to your shoes!” [efas.co]

Treatment and prognosis Non-surgical treatment involves the use of accommodative foot wear. This is usually achieved by the use of soft and wide shoes. [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis is variable in this condition as the deformity may remain stable or progress rapidly. Conservative management can help to alleviate symptoms but will never correct the deformity. [teachmesurgery.com]

Prognosis The outlook is highly variable, as is that of the patients who are treated. Hence there is a shortage of adequate trials to compare the outcomes of the various forms of treatment. [patient.info]

Prognosis Hallux valgus is a complex deformity, and various approaches are available. To date, no satisfactory studies have been performed to compare the various procedures and their success rates. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The etiology of hallux Valgus may be multifactorial, and in certain cases related to such inherited tendencies as hypermobile joints, e.g. Ehlers - Danlos disease, splaying of the forefoot, and metatarsus primus varus. [veterans.gc.ca]

Studies describing the incidence of hallux abducto valgus in shod and unshod populations have identified footwear as an important etiological factor (Lam Sim-Fook and Hodgson, 1958; Shine, 1965). [oandplibrary.org]

Etiology Hallux valgus is known to have numerous etiologies, including biomechanical, traumatic, and metabolic factors. The most common etiology, yet the most difficult to understand, is biomechanical instability. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Meatatrsus primus varus, hyperlaxity and flat feet are most common etiologies in juvenile and acquired hallux valgus [ 5 ]. [alliedacademies.org]

Epidemiology Bunions are common but the exact prevalence of bunions is difficult to ascertain. They are known to be the most common forefoot problem in adults [ 1 ]. One UK-based study found a prevalence of 28.4% in adults [ 2 ]. [patient.info]

In this article, we shall look at the pathophysiology, clinical features and management of hallux valgus. Pathophysiology During the gait cycle, the digits should remain parallel to the long axis of the foot. [teachmesurgery.com]

Subsequently increasing the risk of developing bunions. [4] [6] Pathophysiology [ edit ] The bump itself is partly due to the swollen bursal sac or an osseous (bony) anomaly on the metatarsophalangeal joint. [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology It is helpful to consider this, as correction of the biomechanical factors may prevent excessive pronation and progression of the deformity: When walking, the hallux and digits stay parallel to the long axis of the foot. [patient.info]

Pathophysiology During the gait cycle, the hallux and the digits generally remain parallel to the long axis of the foot, regardless of the degree of forefoot abduction (or pronation) occurring (see the image below). [emedicine.medscape.com]

The toe separator is made of soft para rubber and prevents pain from pressure or rubbing between the toes, which may be caused for example by toe misalignments. [berkemann.com]

Advise on adjusting footwear to prevent the deformity from worsening and preventing irritation of the skin over the medial eminence. If the patient has flat feet, then an orthosis may help to prevent the progression of the condition. [teachmesurgery.com]

Prevention Correction of the biomechanical factors may prevent excessive pronation and progression of the deformity. Judicious footwear may help prevent bunions in some, but not all, cases. [patient.info]

Hallux valgus, a difficult disease to prevent Unfortunately, hallux valgus is difficult to prevent. [hunimed.eu]

While orthosis are sometimes prescribed their is minimal evidence to suggest their use will prevent the progression of the disease 6. Non-surgical treatment is deemed to have failed when the pain is no longer controlled with the suggested measures. [radiopaedia.org]
