- Hallux valgus is a foot problem where the big toe points outwards, affecting about 2%-4% of people.
- The study looked at how this condition gets worse over time and how it might lead to arthritis in older adults by using special X-ray pictures.
- The results showed that while the angles related to hallux valgus changed over time, they didn't do so in a straight line, meaning time alone doesn't always predict how bad the condition will get.

However, more uncommon etiologies of compartment syndrome have been reported, which includes reperfusion injury, burns, and congenital or acquired bleeding disorders.
