Presentation
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]
Skin
- Erythema
Erythema or bursa indicates pressure from shoes and irritation. Note the range of movement of the hallux MTP joint. Normal dorsiflexion is 65-75° with plantar flexion less than 15°. Note if pain, crepitation, or both are present. [patient.info]
Musculoskeletal
- Arthritis
Arthritis can lead to bunions. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in joints. Due to the way that it affects joints, it can lead to bunions in the toes. [news-medical.net]
The type of surgical procedure recommended will be determined by the severity of the deformity and presence of arthritis in the 1 st metatarsophalangeal joint. [radiopaedia.org]
Bunion Other names Hallux abducto valgus, hallux valgus, metatarsus primus varus [1] Specialty Orthopedics Symptoms Prominent, red, and painful joint at the base of the big toe [2] Complications Bursitis, arthritis [2] Usual onset Gradual [2] Causes Unclear [en.wikipedia.org]

- Foot Deformity
Hallux valgus is the commonest of the foot deformities. In this condition the big toe - the hallux - assumes a valgus position. [gpnotebook.co.uk]
The type of procedure will depend on your physical health, the extent of the foot deformity, your age, and your activity level. The recovery time will depend on which procedure or procedures are performed. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
Hallux valgus as well as hammer toes, claw toes, hallux rigidus and Digitus quintus varus are common deformities of the foot or the toes (foot deformities, toe deformities). Different surgical procedures are used to treat these conditions. [hirslanden.ch]
The higher incidence of hallux valgus in women due to wearing high heels and constricting foot wear [ 7 ]. In rock climbers and dancers estimated a high incidence of hallux valgus deformity [ 8, 9 ]. [alliedacademies.org]
One year later she presents with the painless foot deformity shown in Figure A. [orthobullets.com]
- Joint Swelling
This can result in pain in the toe joint, swelling and red shiny skin over the bunion area. Cerebral palsy, a disease that affects people from birth can result in stiffness in the patient’s movement. [news-medical.net]
Symptoms Most individuals who have developed a bunion experience the following symptoms: A bulging bump on the base of the big toe, on the inside of the foot Thickening of the skin around the big toe joint Swelling, redness, or soreness around the big [orthopedicandfracturespecialists.com]
- Great Toe Pain
Symptoms: Reddened skin over the base of the great toe. Pain over the joint where the great toe joins the foot (MPJ) Effect on Gait: Degraded toe off, excessive pronation due to 1st ray instability. [fleetfeetsr.com]
Neurologic
- Confusion
Many patients confuse hallux rigidus with a bunion, which affects the same joint, but they are very different conditions requiring different treatment. Because hallux rigidus is a progressive condition, the toe’s motion decreases as time goes on. [foothealthfacts.org]
To avoid confusion, we present our treatment algorithm for hallux valgus deformities ( Fig. 2 ). Fig. 2 Operative treatment algorithm. [online.boneandjoint.org.uk]
- Burning Sensation
The main symptoms associated with hallux valgus include pain, discomfort, redness, burning sensation, swelling as well as difficulty walking. [hunimed.eu]
Treatment
Keywords: hallux valgus, treatment, Scarf osteotomy, closing wedge osteotomy. [umbalk.org]
Patient satisfaction with treatment and global assessments were higher for the surgery group than for patients receiving orthotics or no treatment. However, under the study protocol, patients could not be blinded to treatment. [mdedge.com]
Wilson's osteotomy for the treatment of hallux valgus. The modified Wilson osteotomy for hallux valgus. Distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus in the middle-aged patient. [wheelessonline.com]
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 Treatment of bunions varies depending on the severity of the bunion and the amount of pain it causes. The initial treatment of a bunion should always be non-operative. [orthopedicandfracturespecialists.com]
Prognosis
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]
Etiology
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]

Pathophysiology
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]
See: - adolescent bunion - bunionette - Discussion: - pathophysiology - blood supply of MCP joint - windlass mechanism - diff dx: - gout - hallux rigidus ( cheilectomy ); - references: - Anatomic variations in the first ray: Part I. [wheelessonline.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]
Prevention
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]
