What does hallux valgus mean?

Hallux valgus is the inflammation and pain caused by the deviation of the big toe joint towards the side. Over time, the deformity of the foot worsens, making it difficult to wear shoes. Wearing narrow and high-heeled shoes, in particular, can contribute to the development of hallux valgus. It is often a hereditary problem passed down among family members. Factors such as flat feet, high arches, Achilles tendon tightness, obesity, and rheumatic conditions can also contribute to hallux valgus. Despite selecting wide and comfortable shoes, hallux valgus is commonly observed.

Patients’ expectations primarily include being able to walk comfortably, alleviating pain in the painful and inflamed area of the foot, and being able to wear everyday shoes without discomfort. For individuals under the age of forty, the ability to wear stylish shoes is a priority, while for those over forty, the main expectation is to be able to wear comfortable daily shoes.

Women aim to be able to walk comfortably, while men seek to work more comfortably. Patients seeking treatment for hallux valgus are generally healthier, have higher emotional well-being, and are in better mental condition compared to the general population. Esthetic concerns particularly hold significant importance for women.
