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.
(3) A plantar V-Y advancement flap is effective for reconstruction of a hallux amputation.
(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.
(11) The other complications included recurrence of the hallux valgus in two feet, pain under a fibular sesamoid in one foot, and a tailor's bunion that was unrelated to the operation in one foot.
(12) One hundred twenty radiographs of the foot were evaluated for hallux abductus angle, lateral talometatarsal angle, and metatarsus primus elevatus position.
(13) We could demonstrate with statistical significance that (1) when the subjects with hallux valgus push the great toe on the ground, the first metatarsal head moved in medial direction; in other words the foot widened.
(14) The authors explain the sequential development of a bunion beginning with hallux abducto valgus, then hypertrophy of the dorsomedial tubercle, followed by proximal articular set angle adaptation.
(15) Hallux varus is not uncommon after hallux valgus surgery.
(16) A hallux abducto valgus surgical evaluation form is presented in order for the podiatrist to logically assess the patient's deformity.

(19) At the follow-up examination a median of 9 (2-11) years after the operation, a reduction in the hallux valgus angle from 32 degrees to 26 degrees and in the intermetatarsal angle from 13 degrees to 10 degrees was found; but on analyzing the single parts of the operation, we found that the result was only significant in those patients that had had the original procedures done, i.e., tenotomy and reattachment of the conjoined tendon, lateral capsulotomy, and lateral sesamoidectomy.
(20) For this reason, excision arthroplasty, rather than fusion of the hallux, is recommended when the lesser metatarsal heads are removed.
Nomopelmous
Definition:
