What is Hallux?

Hallux is a Latin term for a large foot of the legs. It is located along the inside of the foot, it is the largest of the fingers, although not always the longest. Hallux is that people push most of their weight while walking and contain two bones, proximal and distal phalanxes that allow flexion movements and an extension between them, between them, and also on the joints, first, the a and the a an -antom, in an -anoles. Joint joint on the joint on the joint on the joint and joint on the joint and joint on the joint on the joint and joint on the joint and joint and on the joint and joint, joint, joint and foot. The closest Falanga Hallux is known as proximal or first phalanx, while the farthest bone is known as distal or second phalanx. Among them is a gontymoid or joint of the joint called interphalangal joint that is capable of moving flexionand extension or ripple and straightening of the tip. The joint is held together by plantar and collateral ligaments, while plantar bonds stretch between the bones on the underside of the leg and collateral ligaments running like a couple between the bones on both sides of the joint. The dorsal or upper part of the interphalangal joint holds together a tendon of muscle that extends the tip.

At the near end of the first Falanga, Hallux meets the first metatarsal bone, one of the long bones of the middle leg, known as the first metatarsophalangal joint. This joint has an oval surface-distal end of metatarsal-which inserts into the cavity of the corresponding shape at the proximal end of the first phalanx. These two bones are also held together by bonds, plantar and a few collateral bonds. The shape of this joint allows movement in two planes: flexion and extension and abduca adction or propagation and drawing of hallux. The latter movements are justVery tiny, because in fact the smaller fingers move laterally with respect to a large finger.

On the outside of the two phalanxal bones are tendons of muscles that attach to the hallux. Flexor Hallucis longus muscles with curls with the tip. This muscle comes on the back of the fibula bone in the lower leg and attaches its tendons to the plantar surface of the distal phalanx. The muscle that expands the tip on both joints is the extensor hallucis longus, which similarly begins on the front of the fibula and attaches the tendons to the back surface of the distal phalanx hallux. Preventing this muscle in hyperextending large fingers are plantar and collateral bonds of both joints, which therefore help prevent injury to the tip during walking, running and jumps.
