A review on biomechanics of the hallux valgus pathology and its surgical treatments
Abstract The present paper aims at an interdisciplinary field, regarding biomechanics aspects of the Hallux Valgus, which is a frequent deformity in our days. Owing to the importance of the study theme and the social impact, we consider it very important that the state of the art should be as detailed as possible, due to this condition being frequent in women and older people. The review will target recent research of the biomechanics of the foot, the test subjects being in normal conditions and also patients affected by Hallux valgus deformities; likewise, it will define important geometrical elements, which are required for the engineering approach of the issue. As well, the 3D modelling …
