Standardised radiographs of the weight-bearing foot were analysed in fifty young patients undergoing osteotomy of the first metatarsal for hallux valgus. True metatarsus primus varus was not found more frequently than in a control series. The intermetatarsal angle was significantly greater in affected feet compared with controls. The structural abnormality in hallux valgus in the young is therefore due to a valgus disposition of the second and subsequent metatarsals, rather than varus inclination of the first metatarsal.
对五十名因拇外翻接受第一跖骨截骨术的年轻患者的负重足部标准X光片进行了分析。与对照组相比，真性第一跖骨内翻的发现频率并没有更高。与对照组相比，患侧足部的跖间角明显更大。因此，年轻人拇外翻的结构异常是由于第二跖骨及后续跖骨的外翻倾向，而非第一跖骨的内翻倾斜。
