The first ray is an inherently unstable axial array that relies on a fine balance between its static (capsule, ligaments,
and plantar fascia) and dynamic stabilizers (peroneus longus and small muscles of the foot) to maintain its
alignment.
In some feet, there is a genetic predisposition for a nonlinear osseous alignment or a laxity of the static stabilizers
that disrupts this muscle balance. Poor footwear plays an important role in accelerating the process, but occupation and excessive walking and weight-bearing are unlikely to be notable factors.
Many inherent or acquired biomechanical abnormalities are identified in feet with hallux valgus. However, these
associations are incomplete and nonlinear.
In any patient, a number of factors have come together to cause the hallux valgus. Once this complex pathogenesis
is unraveled, a more scientific approach to hallux valgus management will be possible, thereby enabling treatment
(conservative or surgical) to be tailored to the individual.
hallux valgus and the effect of those factors on surgical outcomes, the quality and strength of this evidence have been
variable.
Pathoanatomy of Hallux Valgus
Development of Hallux Valgus (Figs. 1 through 4)
It is generally accepted4,5 that hallux valgus occurs in steps,
frequently on a background of several predisposing factors
(Table I). These steps do not necessarily occur in series but may
transpire in parallel. These steps are as follows:
1. As the only medial supporting structures of the first
metatarsophalangeal joint are the medial sesamoid and medial
collateral ligaments, their failure is the early and essential
lesion.6
2. The metatarsal head can then drift medially, slipping
off the sesamoid apparatus. An oblique or an unstable tarsometatarsal joint may encourage this movement.

hallux valgus), with the valgus displacement of the proximal phalanx due to its attachment to the sesamoids, the deep transverse ligament (via the plantar
plate), and the adductor hallucis tendon (step 3). The extensor hallucis longus bowstrings laterally (step 6).

adductor hallucis (AdH), flexor hallucis longus (FHL), and extensor hallucis longus (EHL). Fig. 4 Illustration of the deformity of hallux valgus in the axial plane.
The metatarsal is pronated and shifted medially, resulting in the lateral shift of the abductor hallucis (AbH), adductor hallucis (AdH), flexor hallucis longus
(FHL), and extensor hallucis longus (EHL) (steps 6 and 8 in the development of hallux valgus). The bursa overlying the medial eminence thickens because of
the pressure effect of footwear on a prominent medial eminence (step 5). Because of the pressure of the medial sesamoid on the crista, the cartilage is
eroded and the crista flattened (step 4).

Morton believed that dorsal hypermobility of the first metatarsal segment was responsible for the widest array of foot
deformity 20. However, several studies have questioned whether
motion at the tarsometatarsal joint even exists21-24. The studies
that described motion of the first tarsometatarsal joint had
no consensus with regard to either the axis of movement or
the magnitude. In so-called normal feet, the small amount of
movement permitted at the first tarsometatarsal joint is amplified by the long metatarsal shaft, resulting in an average
dorsoplantar motion of 6 mm25. However, the mean range of
motion of the entire first ray in the foot with hallux valgus is
significantly greater in both the sagittal and frontal planes.

the axis of the four lateral metatarsophalangeal joints, is enhanced during late stance, causing lower-extremity external
rotation and inversion of the subtalar joint34.
Normal gait uses up to 65" of first metatarsophalangeal
dorsiflexion, and first ray elevation substantially compromises
this range of motion35. Furthermore, the normal hallux has a
tendency toward valgus (and any pronation further encourages
this tendency). This combination means that, when dorsiflexion
is restricted, the toe is forced to escape laterally in the direction
of least resistance. As the transverse sphericity of the first metatarsal head 29 permits multiplanar motion 36, the collaterals,
sesamoids, and the so-called rein effect of the first metatarsophalangeal joint rotator cuff are all required for stability.
Etiology of Hallux Valgus
The different factors can be divided into extrinsic and intrinsic
risks (Table I).

Metatarsal dimension: Metatarsal formula refers to the relative lengths of the metatarsals. The normal order in terms of
decreasing length is second, first, third, fourth, and then
fifth, but the first and third are commonly equal in length.
Morton20 described the short first metatarsal of Morton foot
that he believed led to pronation and hypermobility of the
first ray and therefore hallux valgus. There is no clinical
evidence for this relationship, and more reliable measurement techniques have found the true association to be as low
as 4%49,106-108.
Mancuso et al. found that 80% of 110 patients with
hallux valgus had a so-called zero-plus first metatarsal (i.e., it
was equal to or greater in length than the second metatarsal),
whereas 80% of 100 control subjects had shorter first metatarsals109. According to Root et al., the long first metatarsal acts
as a functional metatarsus primus elevatus27 as it cannot
plantar flex below the transverse plane. This additional length
inhibits first metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion and can
cause subluxation110.
A long first metatarsal creates a so-called buckle point111,112,
resulting in a hallux valgus with a high intermetatarsal angle,
and there is a strong association between protrusion distance
and intermetatarsal angle108. On this basis, Mancuso et al. advocated that the definition of so-called normal metatarsal
protrusion should be reduced to 2 to 0 mm from the accepted
standard of 2 to 12 mm109. It is important to remember that
pronation of the foot causes metatarsal dorsiflexion, making it
appear longer than it actually is113. However, the new definition
does not necessarily refute the theories regarding the long first
metatarsal, as the function of the foot when weight-bearing is
the important factor.
Metatarsal articular morphology: Heden and Sorto 112
observed that a round first metatarsal head is common in hallux
valgus (occurring in 90% of 100 affected subjects compared with
20% of 210 control subjects). A round first metatarsal head
creates a more unstable articulation than other shapes and is
associated with a higher rate of recurrence of hallux valgus114.
The round-shaped head is unlikely to be due to remodeling as it
is not associated with any degenerative change36. The flattened,

Much has been written18,162 about the role of pes planus in the
etiology of hallux valgus163. The mechanism appears obvious,
i.e., pronation increases loading on the plantar medial border
of the hallux during heel rise, but there are several other
changes116.
1. Pes planus produces an elevation and thus a functional
lengthening of the first metatarsal164, which can limit first
metatarsal phalangeal joint movement.
2. The peroneus longus is less able to stabilize the first
ray 165. If this insufficiency is prolonged, hypermobility of the
first ray can result166.
3. In the planovalgus foot, hindfoot and midfoot eversion
reduce the load on the first metatarsophalangeal joint, although
weight-bearing through the medial arch increases. This change
is due to the relative mobility of the first tarsometatarsal joint
compared with the second tarsometatarsal joint and the loss of
the pull of the peroneus longus116.
4. As the hindfoot everts, the foot becomes abducted to
the line of progression, increasing the abduction force in
dorsiflexion on heel rise.
