  • Title: [Hallux valgus: practical summary].
    Author: Cherix S, Burkhalter A.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse Romande; 2001 Oct; 121(10):725-8. PubMed ID: 11715289.
    Abstract:
    Hallux valgus arises from static and dynamic unbalance of the forefoot. Possibilities of conservative treatment are limited. This paper recalls the essentials of physiopathology and exposes briefly to the non-operators the most current amongst 150 operative techniques described. While becoming more complex, the surgery of hallux valgus has proven to gain efficiency. Surgical indication, based on biomechanics, should be very careful, which gives a greater interest to this discipline.
