Hallux valgus interphalangeus: reliability of radiological assessment

Hallux valgus interphalangeus (HVI) is a deformity of the first ray, characterised by valgus angulation of the distal phalanx on the proximal phalanx. It is considered present if the hallux interphalangeus angle exceeds 10 ° [1–4]. Recent epidemiological studies suggest a high prevalence of HVI in patients presenting to foot and ankle surgeons [5].
