Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the shapes of the first metatarsal-cuneiform (MTC) joint in feet with hallux valgus (HV) deformity and how these shapes relate to angles associated with HV.
  • Researchers analyzed the shapes in a sample of 315 feet and found that the oblique shape was most common, often linked with more severe forms of HV.
  • The results indicated that the shape of the first MTC joint significantly influences the hallux valgus angle (HVA), while the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) did not show a statistically significant relationship with the joint shape.
