Foot Ankle Clin. 2020 Mar;25(1):1-17. doi: 10.1016/j.fcl.2019.10.004. Epub 2019 Nov 26.

Abstract

The interaction between hypermobility and hallux valgus remains both contemporary and incendiary. The difficulty in setting clinical and radiological parameters to diagnose and the complexity of questions that circumnutate the philosophy among etiology and denouement, fires up the debate regarding these conditions. Outcomes among procedures that address or neglect ray instability are still used as argument for any group of believers or nonbelievers. Through proving the true existence of hypermobility and its relationship with bunions, our colleges and professors have produced an incredible amount of excellent data that helped us better comprehend the hallux valgus syndrome in a general manner.

Keywords: Hallux; Hypermobility; Instability; Lapidus; Laxity; Ray; Tarsometatarsal; Valgus.
