Abstract:
Hallux valgus deformity is an often deformity in which first metatarsophalangeal
joint is subluxated due to the lateral deviation of thumb and medial deviation of metatarsal
bone. As deformity progresses, it results in function and uniformity loss, with lateral
displacement of thumb and deformity of claw toe and hammer toe. Shoes’ pressure on
bunion area causes its inflammation and pain. Conservative and surgical treatment methods
are used for the treatment of Hallux valgus deformity. According to the results of our study,
which we obtained through soft tissue corrective procedures and bunionectomy applied
under local anesthesia to 86 patients with Hallux valgus at different times, patients could
walk within a short period of time, wear shoes comfortably, and their pains decreased
considerably.
