Hallux Valgus & Hallus Varas

The term "hallux valgus" or "hallux abducto-valgus" are the most commonly-used medical terms associated with a bunion anomoly, where "hallux" refers to the great toe, "valgus" refers to the abnormal angulation of the great toe commonly associated with bunion anomolies, and "abductus/-o" refers to the abnormal drifting or inward leaning of the great toe towards the second toe, which is also commonly associated with bunions.


Hallus Varas is a deformity of the great toe joint where the hallux is deviated medially (towards the midline of the body) away from the first metatarsal bone. The hallux usually moves in the transverse plane.
