Accuracy of diagnosis and evaluation of first ray hypermobility in symptomatic and asymptomatic hallux valgus patients using ultrasonography
The ultrasound technique measuring three parameters of the first ray motion provides acceptable accuracy for the first ray mobility assessment. Width of the feet and hallux valgus angle were associated with hypermobility of the first ray while an increase in the hallux valgus angle and the first-second intermetatarsal angle were associated with symptoms among hallux valgus patients.
