Abstract Background/aim: Little is known about the relationship between hallux valgus and the alignment of proximal joints. Dynamic knee valgus is a movement pattern characterized by excessive knee abduction along with femoral adduction, internal rotation, and relative external tibial rotation. It is more prevalent in females and exacerbates during landing in jumping, predisposing athletes to injuries. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hallux valgus deformity on dynamic knee movement pattern and lower extremity injuries in athletes. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study. The study included 92 athletes with at least 3 years of experience in their respective sports.
