Özet

Introduction: Hallux valgus is associated with a medial deviation of the first metatarsal and subluxation or dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. This deformity is one of the most common chronic foot complaints, with a prevalence of up to 35.7% in elderly patients. In the present study, we examined 23 feet of 15 patients with severe hallux valgus deformity between April 2008 and December 2013.
