Correlation Between Hallux Valgus Severity and the Prevalence of Metatarsus Adductus in Hallux Valgus
MA is common among patients with HV, with its prevalence increasing in parallel with HV severity. The modified Engel's angle is a reliable and sensitive method for detecting MA associated with HV, particularly in severe cases, and its use can help tailor surgical plans to improve outcomes. Surgeons should be mindful of the presence of concomitant MA when planning HV surgery, as it may negatively affect surgical outcomes and increase the risk of recurrence.
