description

The term hallux valgus was introduced into the literature in 1871 when Hueter (Hueter, 1871, as cited in Kelikian, 1965) defined the deformity as an abduction contracture in which the great toe is turned away from the mid-line of the body(fig. 1). The adjective valgus implies a static deformity and should not be used interchangeably with abductus which refers to movement caused by muscle function.
