Impact of First Metatarsal Hyperpronation on First Ray Alignment: A Study in Cadavers.

First ray supination compensating for first metatarsal intrinsic hyperpronation might be an important factor in the hallux valgus pathogenesis. Further in vivo studies involving nonweightbearing and weightbearing comparative assessments of hallux valgus and controls should be performed to confirm this pathomechanism.
