“…Our result also showed that the prevalence of HAV increases with increasing age. This is similar to the findings of Dare et al (2005) and Okuda et al (2014). In decreasing order of magnitude, the total number of subjects who had HAV in our study was: both feet 57(5.5%), left foot 49(4.7%) and right foot 27(2.6%).…”

“…It is characterized by lateral deviation of the proximal phalanx of the hallux, medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone, and subluxation of the first metartasophalangeal (MTP) joint (Dare et al, 2005). Hallux Abducto Valgus is associated with a medial prominence (bunion) at the first MTP joint which is caused by protruding head of first metatarsal bone (Janssen et al, 2014) with swollen and inflamed skin as a result of friction from shoes (Okuda et al, 2014). Bunions may also be caused by some other factors which include osteoarthritis, bursal inflammation, ganglion formation or gouty arthropathy.…”
