hallux valgus
bunions
hallux valgus aetiology
genetic
foot wear
symptoms hallux valgus
pressure symptoms from shoe wear - bursitis over MTP joint
pain from crossing over of toes - can become ulcerated
metatarsalgia - weight distribution to lesser metatarsal heads
pathogenesis hallux valgus
lateral angulation of great toe
tendons pull realigned to lateral of centre rotation of two worsening deformity
diagnosis hallux valgus
clinical
x-ray

management hallux valgus - op
release lateral soft tissues
osteotomy 1st metatarsal
hallux rigidus
OA of 1st MTP joint
claw toes
flexion at proximal and distal interphalangeal joint
hammer toras
flexion of proximal interphalangeal joint and dorsiflexion MTP joint
mallet toes
flexion at distal interphalangeal joint
aetiology of lesser toe deformities
imbalance between flexors/extensors shoe-wear neurological RA idiopathic
symptoms lesser toe deformities
deformity
pain from dorsum
pain from planter side (metatarsalgia)
non-op Rx lesser toe deformities
activity modification
shoe wear
orthotic insoles
morton’s neuroma
interdigital neuralgia
mechanically induced degenerative neuropathy
symptoms morton’s neuroma
typically 3rd followed by 2nd webspaces/toes
neuralgic burning into toes
