Hallux valgus is a complicated deformity.... The laterally inclined great toe pushes the second toe, and even the third and fourth toes, toward the fibular border of the foot. Thus, there is fibular drift of all the toes. This condition is often seen in cases of hallux valgus occurring in the wake of adductovarus of the forefoot, and it is more marked when this part of the anatomy is affected by rheumatoid arthritis... 1, record 5, English, - fibular%20drift

Le coup de vent prédomine au niveau des 2e, 3e et 4e rayons. Dans le sens vertical, il y a une hyperextension des premières phalanges responsable d'une griffe d'orteils aggravant la surcharge de l'avant-pied et source de conflit avec la chaussure.
