Examining the relationship between second toe length and hallux valgus in older adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study will include 150 patients aged 60-80 years who have existing foot radiographs. The study will evaluate the hallux valgus angle, first intermetatarsal angle, and the lengths of the first and second toes. Researchers will calculate the ratio of the second toe phalanx length to the first toe phalanx length and analyze the relationship between these measurements and the hallux valgus angle using statistical methods. No interventions will be administered, as the focus is on radiographic evaluations.
