    Abstract:
    The hallux valgus represents combined bony and soft tissue pathology. In addition to known bony surgical procedures, addressing the soft tissue with regard to the anatomical structures, the surgical technique and the extent of correction are discussed.The goal of the operation is the restoration of the physiological balance between the active and passive stabilizing factors of the MTP-I-joint. The joint capsule, the ligaments and the tendons of the first ray act directly as stabilizing structures, whereas the hind foot and the position of the upper ankle have an indirect influence on the MTP-I-joint.The present work gives an overview of the pathoanatomy of the MTP-I-joint in the hallux valgus pathology. The individual anatomical structures are presented with regard to their physiological and pathological influence and the possible therapeutic options.
