本研究的目的是确定拇外翻畸形初期第一跖骨长度和拇指长度是否大于正常。在152张X光片样本中(98只正常足和54只初发拇外翻足)，按照前面描述的方法测量第一跖骨和拇指的长度。对正常足和拇外翻足，以及男性和女性足进行了比较。结果显示，两组在第一跖骨(P<；0.0001)和拇指(P<；0.001)上有显著差异。在男性足部，这些差异更加明显(当比较女性拇指外翻足和女性正常足的拇指长度时，P>；0.05)。这表明，在拇指外翻的男性中，第一跖趾关节段的多余长度比患有这种畸形的女性更大，至少在最初的阶段是这样。根据这些结果，第一跖趾节段的大小可能与拇外翻畸形的发生有关。
The aim of this study was to confirm whether the length of the first metatarsal and the length of the hallux are greater than normal in the initial phase of the hallux valgus deformity. In a sample of 152 radiographs (98 of normal feet and 54 of incipient hallux valgus feet), the length of the first metatarsal and the hallux was measured according to methods previously described. Comparisons were made between normal and hallux valgus feet, and between male and female feet. The results show significant differences between the two groups in the first metatarsal (P < 0.0001) and hallux (P < 0.001). In the male feet, these differences are more marked (when comparing the length of the hallux between the female hallux valgus feet and the female normal feet, P > 0.05). This indicates that in men with hallux valgus, the excess in length of the first metatarso-digital segment is greater than in women that develop this deformity, at least in its initial phase. According to these results, the size of the first metatarso-digital segment could be involved in the development of the hallux valgus deformity.
