In this study, we performed algorithm development of automatic symptom degree for patient with hallux valgus one of the representative foot disease of morden. And this study proposes an efficient automated technique that is different from the original analog diagnosis for treatment and surgery of hallux valgus using digital image process. And we used X-Ray images of both a normal and a patient with hallux valgus in the procedure. First, we marked the standard angle on the X-Ray image of normal through Overlap & Add technique. Then we created a standard image through thinning filter and roberts filter(edge detection algorithm). Second, we used sobel filter of edge detection algorithm on the X-Ray image of patient. Moreover, we went another overlap & add technique procedure with both normal and patient image that we made. With the output, we projected the display detection image onto the screen. Finally, with the display detection image, we could measure and project the diagnosis angle of hallux valgus. And this confirms that this method is much more practical and applicable for another orthopedics disease than the prior one.

Purpose: This study was to examine the effects of Taping therapy on the deformed angle of the foot and pain in hallux valgus patients. Method: The subjects were 24 feet from 15 patients who were diagnosed withhallus valgus at the orthopedic department of K University Hospital in Seoul. Taping therapy was conducted 15 times overall during a four-week period. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test. Result: The deformed angle of the foot of the hallus valgus patients significantly improved from 21.95(4.38) to 18.75(4.80) after Taping therapy. Pain significantly decreased from 4.73(1.56) to 3.45(2.21) after Taping therapy. Conclusion: The result shows that Taping therapy is effective in improving the deformed angle of the foot and in decreasing pain in the hallux valgus patients.

Multiple surgical procedures for the correction of hallux valgus have been described. The surgical algorithm is based on the degree of deformity, patient's age, and the presence or absence of arthritis. It is known that the role of an isolated distal soft-tissue procedure is limited and the procedure must be used in conjunction with the proximal metatarsal osteotomy to correct most hallux valgus. We reviewed retrospectively the clinical & radiological results of distal soft-tissue procedure with or without proximal metatarsal osteotomy, performed in 18 patients (29 cases ) who had mild to moderate degrees af hallux valgus deformity. The results were as follows : In 20 cases with isolated soft-tissue procedures, the preoperative hallux valgus angle (HV) averaged 30.6 degrees and the postoperative HV averaged 7.3 degrees. The preoperative intermetatarsal angle (IM) averaged 12.5 degrees and postoperative IM averaged 10.4 degrees. 2. In 9 cases with the proximal metatarsal osteotomy added, the preoperative HV averaged 32.5 degrees, and the postoperative HV averaged 8.0 degrees. The preoperative IM averaged 12.5 degrees, and postoperative IM averaged 10.1 degrees. 3. There was no significant difference of loss of correction, presence of complication, patients own satisfaction, between two groups. In conclusion, as for the patients with mild to moderate degrees of hallux valgus deformities, the clinical and radiological results following distal soft tissue procedure and proximal metatarsal osteotamy are not proved to be superior to those following isolated soft-tissue procedures.

In order to study the foot deformity hallux valgus, the rate of which is currently increasing, 235 patients who were diagnosed with hallux valgus and treated in an orthopedic hospital in Seoul had their feet calibrated before and after surgery using 3d radio-scans. Data from 209 cases was analyzed and scored numerically. We scored 10 items for length, 4 for width, 3 for angle, and 2 for height, for a total of 20 items. Each individual's feet showed great variation in most of the items and significant differences after surgery, especially in regards to length and height, which increased after surgery. Angle, width, and length of the distal parts of the toes decreased after surgery. Based on the results of our analysis, we conclude that surgery brings about significant changes in structure and measurement of feet. This research confirmed that there is significant variation in foot form and individual differences based on lesion size and location and, thus, it is difficult for hallux valgus patients to find ready-made shoes that fit them properly. Foot changes before and after operation for hallux valgus were analyzed and the results quantified; our results should be considered during product design by shoe companies whose target is adult women.
