It is one of the most common foot diseases at present. It is commonly seen in middle-aged and old women. The incidence of hallux valgus in Chinese population is between 7.8% and 17%. At the early stage of disease, it is found that the appearance of toes is not beautiful and shoes are difficult to choose.
