Hallux valgus deformity is an abnormal aberration of the main metatarsal and parallel aberration of the Hallux (Big Toe), which is mistakenly interpreted as an augmentation of bone or tissue surrounding the Big Toe joint. Objective: The goal of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of hallux valgus in adults and the variables that cause it. Methods: A sample of 160 young adults (both genders aging b/w 18 to 55 years) was evaluated for hallux valgus using the non-probability purposive sampling technique in Lahore Pakistan. The data were collected through a standardized Bunion Questionnaire and Manchester scale. It took six months to complete, whereas, the data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: For data analysis means, standard deviations were used along with chi-square testing. Adults had a 37.5 percent prevalence of hallux valgus, and the current study indicated that the primary risk variables were growing age, with females suffering more than males. The usage of heels on a regular basis was one of the key risk factors for patients with hallux valgus. Conclusion: The outcomes of the research might lead to improved biomechanical therapies to eliminate needless foot posture loads and the usage of non-ergonomic shoes.
