Valgus deformity
Deformity in which the bone near a joint is angled outward
A valgus deformity is a condition in which the bone segment distal to a joint is angled outward, that is, angled laterally, away from the body's midline.[1] The opposite deformation, where the twist or angulation is directed medially, toward the center of the body, is called varus.
