Hallux valgus is a common foot condition that is caused when the big toe bends in towards the smaller toes.

Results showed that slightly more than one third of the respondents to the health survey had some degree of hallux valgus.

Researchers also noted that participants with hallux valgus exhibited lower SF-36 scores, indicating greater impairment.

Therefore, researchers once concluded that Archaeopteryx used the hallux as a balancing mechanism on tree limbs.

Specifically, they found that Archaeopteryx had a primitive palatine, unreversed hallux, and hyper-extendable second toe.

Like most hominids, but unlike all previously recognized hominins, it had a grasping hallux or big toe adapted for locomotion in the trees.

The hallux, or modified of the first digit of the foot, was long thought to have pointed posterior to the remaining digits, as in perching birds.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Styles with pointed toes force the big toe towards the others which over time causes a permanent distortion called a hallux valgus, better known as a bunion.

Apes and monkeys are sometimes described as having four hands, because the toes are long and the hallux is opposable and looks more like a thumb, thus enabling the feet to be used as hands.

- Big toe: the first largest innermost toe
- The big toe
- The first digit or "big toe" of a bird's foot. In the Purple Martin, as in most species of birds, the hallux is the hind toe, and opposes the three others that point forward. But not all families of birds have four toes and some groups lack a hallux altogether.
- The first digit of the pes (foot), the big toe; frequently opposable in arboreal mammals.
- The one toe that points posteriorly (if there is one toe pointing posteriorly).
- Latin hallex = great toe (hallucis = of the great toe).
- Proximal phalanx (end bone) of the first, big toe; site of many muscle attachments that, when imbalanced, contribute to the formation of a bunion
- First digit of a bird's foot, usually points backwards. (Equivalent to our big toe)
- Big toe. Hallux rigidus is painful loss of motion in the toe, and hallux valgus is a deformity also known as a bunion.
