Hallux valgus is well-entrenched misnomer
Valgus refers to deformity in vertical plane, apex medial
Hallux valgus is deformity of 1st metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in horizontal plane, apex medial
Correct term would be hallux abductus
Some sources use term hallux abductovalgus
Metatarsus primus varus is also misnomer
Varus is deformity in vertical plane, apex lateral
Metatarsus primus varus is deformity of 1st tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint in horizontal plane, apex lateral
Some sources use term metatarsus primus adductus
