The bone on the big toe

Valgus deformity of the foot is a pathology that is characterized by a progressive valgus deviation of the first toe, as a result of which the anatomical axis of the foot and fingers changes.

A fairly common pathology of the foot. The causes of valgus deformity of the foot can be different, from increased physical exertion and hereditary predisposition, to excess weight and weakness of the ligaments and muscles of the foot. Also, prolonged wearing of uncomfortable shoes, shoes with a narrow toe and high heels increases the risk of developing Halus Valgus and exacerbating painful symptoms. This disease is more common among young and middle-aged women, who often use uncomfortable model shoes.

With valgus deformity of the foot, the thumb bends inward to the smaller fingers, as a result, the head of the bone protrudes on the foot, and the formation of a bone or bump on the leg in the lower part of the finger. That is why patients often call the pathology-a bone or a lump on the big toe.
