Detailed Description

Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity whose multifactorial and complex and associated with other foot deformities. It is a common 1st ray deformity characterized by excessive angulation, rotation, and lateral deviation of the great toe at the first metatarsophalangeal joint . There are many symptoms of HV include poor fitting shoes, plantar foot pain, and pain in the medial first MTP joint .The resultant deformity causes pain and discomfort, which decreases the physical function of the foot and has been identified as a risk factor for falls in older people . Systematic reviews estimated the prevalence of HV to be more frequent with Old age and is more prevalent in women . Several risk factors for HV have been identified HV is associates with wearing high-heeled or narrow shoes . Foot problems are prevalent in old aged and are thought to be associated with high heels and narrow shoes The relationship between HV and obesity is less clear. Some studies have found an association between HV and increasing body mass index whereas others have found no association. Most recently, it has been suggested that the association between HV and BMI differs between the genders, with a lower prevalence with increasing BMI in women but no association in men and in Upper Egypt the principle investigator aim to collect data through a cross sectional study to know the prevalence and calculate the percentage of each certain risk factor through AP Standing Foot and evaluate HV angles and determind who has HV and then calaculate the prevalence and determind associated Risk Factors , while collecting cases the principle investigator focus on Emergency Unit on people without Foot Trauma , no neurological deficit and from outpatient clinic
