Evaluation of the relationship between hallux valgus and foot measurements in radiographic images of adult female.

Purpose: In the present study, we aimed to determine the relationship of HV angle with angles and measurements obtained from lateral and anteroposterior (AP) radiological images of the foot in individuals with HV.

Methods: The present study had a retrospective design, and the participants consisted of 66 female patients between the ages of 19 and 64 who applied to Orthopedics and Traumatology and were diagnosed with Hallux valgus. Metatarsus adductus angle, metatarsus primus adductus angle, hallux valgus angle, hallux interphalangeal angle, metatarsal break angle, first metatarsal protrusion distance, metatarsal width, talocalcaneal angle, AP Meary's angle were measured on AP view and calcaneal inclination angle, talar declination angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, first metatarsal declination angle, fifth metatarsal declination angle, navicular height, lateral Meary's angle, tibiotalar angle were measured on a lateral radiograph.

Applicability of calf subcutaneous tissue to subcutaneous injection in young adults.

Aim: The aim of the study is to provide usage of subcutaneous tissue of lateral calf area (region of M. Gastrocnemius) in addition to the existing injection regions and to compare tissue thicknesses of the lateral upper arm, anterior and lateral thigh, anterior abdomen regions and calf regions.
