Mild hallux valgus interphalangeus: This is an isolated misalignment of the big toe beyond the metatarsophalangeal joint © Dr. med. Thomas Schneider. If the phalanx of the foot is misaligned in front of the metatarsophalangeal joint (hallux valgus interphalangeus), a so-called Akin osteotomy may also be performed.
Hallux valgus is a deformity at the base of the big toe, or metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, in which the great toe (hallux) is deviated or points toward the lesser toes; in severe types of the deformity, the great toe goes over or under the second toe.
A big toe position with an angle of up to 10° is still considered normal. A minor hallux valgus defect is 16-20°. A moderate hallux valgus deformity has a deviation of 16-40°. A severe hallux valgus deformity has a deviation of over 40°.

Bunions (also known as hallux valgus) occur when there is misalignment of the first metatarsal (one of five long bones that run from mid-foot to the toes) in relation to the big toe. The often-noticeable "bump" is not new bone or overgrowth of bone but actually the metatarsal itself.
Valgus knee deformity is defined as a tibio-femoral angle of greater than 10°. Typically, the deformity is the result of changes to both the bony and soft-tissue components around the knee.
This foot deformity occurs from years of pressure on the big toe joint (the metatarsophalangeal, or MTP, joint). Eventually, the toe joint gets out of alignment, and a bony bump forms. The medical term for bunions is hallux abducto valgus.
Unlike hallux rigidus, hallux valgus is the result of your bones shifting, with the resulting protrusion going outwards, and not upwards like with hallux rigidus's osteophyte. Hallux valgus, or a bunion, with a bump on the left big toe.

Summary. Valgus alignment is known as knock knee syndrome. It shifts the load-bearing axis to the outside of the knee joint, forcing the knees to be positioned inward. Varus alignment, or bow leg syndrome, causes the load-bearing axis of the leg to shift to the inside, pushing the knees outward.
Synopsis Hallux valgus is a progressive deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint that changes the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot. To date, surgery is the only treatment to correct this deformity, though the recurrence rate is as high as 15%.
The ICD code M201 is used to code Bunion. A bunion is a deformity of the joint connecting the big toe to the foot and is known as a hallux abducto valgus among medical professionals.
