“…Excessive length of the first metatarsal with respect to the second has been associated to hallux valgus [9,10,13,14] more often than has a short first metatarsal relative to the second [23]. We also find authors who do not associate an alteration in the protrusion of the first metatarsal with hallux valgus [2,3].…”

“…However, an excessive total length of the hallux has been related with the hallux valgus deformity on several occasions [8,10,18,22]. Authors who reject the possibility that a very long hallux is related to pathologies such as hallux valgus can also be found [14]. The results of our study show that both the proximal phalanx of the hallux and the great toe are longer in the hallux valgus than in the normal feet (P<0.0001 and P<0.001, respectively) of this sample.…”

“…The association of an excessive absolute length of the first metatarsal and the deformity of hallux valgus has been reported previously [22]. However, there are also authors who state that in feet with this deformity, the first metatarsal is not longer than the second, rather it has a greater relative protrusion [14]. Paradoxically, an excessively short first metatarsal has also been attributed to the aetiology of hallux valgus [23].…”

The aim of this study was to confirm whether the length of the first metatarsal and the length of the hallux are greater than normal in the initial phase of the hallux valgus deformity. In a sample of 152 radiographs (98 of normal feet and 54 of incipient hallux valgus feet), the length of the first metatarsal and the hallux was measured according to methods previously described. Comparisons were made between normal and hallux valgus feet, and between male and female feet. The results show significant differences between the two groups in the first metatarsal (P < 0.0001) and hallux (P<0.001). In the male feet, these differences are more marked (when comparing the length of the hallux between the female hallux valgus feet and the female normal feet, P>0.05). This indicates that in men with hallux valgus, the excess in length of the first metatarso-digital segment is greater than in women that develop this deformity, at least in its initial phase. According to these results, the size of the first metatarso-digital segment could be involved in the development of the hallux valgus deformity.Résumé Le but de cette étude est de confirmer l'excès de longueur du premier métatarsiens et du gros orteil lors de la survenue d'une déformation en hallux valgus. Cent cinquante-deux radiographies ont été analysées, 98 pieds normaux, 54 pieds présentant un début d'hallux valgus. La longueur du premier métatarsien et de l'hallux ont été mesurées et la comparaison a été réalisée entre les deux variétés de pieds, et entre les hommes et les femmes. Les résultats de cette étude montrent qu'il existe une différence significative entre les deux groupes P<0.0001 pour le premier métatarsien et p<0.001 pour la longueur du gros orteil. Cette différence est beaucoup plus marquée chez l'homme que chez la femme. Cette étude montre donc que chez l'homme présentant un hallux valgus, l'excès de longueur du premier métatarsien et du gros orteil sont plus importants que chez la femme, au moins au début de la déformation. Ceci doit être pris en compte lors de la survenue d'un Hallux Valgus.

“…HAV is considered a deformity of multifactorial origin, primarily attributed to the use of footwear [6,7], genetics [8], and gender [9]. Additional factors also include metatarsus varus [10], abnormal metatarsus length [11] abnormal shape of the metatarsal head [12], action of the foot muscles [13], and foot pronation [14]. Excessive length of the first metatarsal with respect to the second [15–17], also called protrusion [10,11,18,19], has been associated with hallux valgus, but a short first metatarsal relative to the second [20] has also been suggested as an etiologic factor in HAV.…”

BackgroundHallux abducto valgus (HAV) is one of the most common forefoot deformities in adulthood with a variable prevalence but has been reported as high as 48%. The study proposed that HAV development involves a skeletal parameter of the first metatarsal bone and proximal phalanx hallux (PPH) to determine if the length measurements of the metatarsal and PPH can be used to infer adult HAV.MethodsAll consecutive patients over 21 years of age with HAV by roentgenographic evaluation were included in a cross-sectional study. The control group included patients without HAV. The study included 160 individuals. We identified and assessed the following radiographic measurements to evaluate HAV: the distances from the medial (LDM), central (LDC), and lateral (LDL) aspects of the base to the corresponding regions of the head of the PPH. The difference between the medial and lateral aspect of PPH was also calculated.ResultsThe reliability of the variables measured in 40 radiographic films show perfect reliability ranging from 0.941 to 1 with a small error ranging from 0.762 to 0. Also, there were no systematic errors between the two measurements for any variable (P > 0.05). The LDM PPH showed the highest reliability and lowest error.ConclusionIt is more suitable to measure the LDM PPH instead of the LDC PPH when calculating the hallux valgus angle based on our reliability results. When the differences of the medial and lateral PPH are greater, the risk for developing HAV increases.
