title: Radiographic criteria in the assessment of hallux abductus deformities.
abstract: The pathomechanics of hallux abducto valgus involve a complex series of interactions. The interpretation of these requires a sound understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and radiographic criteria. This paper attempts to describe these relationships through the parameters allowed by conventional roentgenographic techniques and to provide insight into their analysis.
