Hallux
Definition:
(n.) The first, or preaxial, digit of the hind limb, corresponding to the pollux in the fore limb; the great toe; the hind toe of birds.
Example Sentences:
(1) The present study includes six patients, (involving ten feet), who developed hallux varus and great toe clawing after McBride procedures were performed by various orthopedic surgeons.
(2) Modifications of the Wilson bunionectomy and osteotomy procedure enable the surgeon to address multiple, individual abnormalities associated with the hallux abductor valgus deformity.

(4) The correction of hallux varus must be performed in a well planned, step-wise method.
(5) Preoperative diagnosis was symptomatic hallux valgus complex with hypermobile first ray in 33 and failed bunion surgery in 7.
(6) A literature review of the etiologies and treatments of both hallux varus and brachymetatarsia is presented.
(7) The correction of the pathologic intermetatarsal angle M1 M2 is essential for providing an acceptable alignment of the hallux.
(8) While the surgeon may tend to use one procedure in the repair of a hallux valgus deformity, versatility is most important when treating the juvenile bunion.
(9) The same result applies for its tendon which inserts at the distal phalanx of the hallux.
(10) Findings of clinical importance included decreased hallux dorsiflexion and radiographic evidence of hyperostosis formation at the implant hinge.
