Paragraph Number

82

The first metatarsal 230 may be excessively angled in a medial direction 270 (i.e., toward the lower left-hand corner of the page), causing a painful protrusion at a distal end 250 of the first metatarsal 230, and further causing the phalanges (not shown) attached to the distal end 250 to be angled excessively in a lateral direction 260 (i.e., pointing toward the other phalanges of the foot, rather than pointing directly forward). The excessive medial angulation of the first metatarsal 230 may also result in an excessive gap between the first metatarsal 230 and the second metatarsal 240.
