What is a Valgus Deformity? (with pictures)

Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can give some insights into an issue I think I may have when enlisting. I've searched alot of places online and can't really find an answer either with a recruiter, so I'm asking here.
I've heard things ranging from "the meps doctor will ask if it's an issue" to "it's an auto DQ and I need to wait maybe 7 months for a waiver" nothing about getting corrective surgery though.
I have 2 asymptomatic (does not cause issues) bunions. One on my left foot and one on my right foot (Big toes). Never had any problems with them. Here are my questions.

Will this be an issue at meps?
Should I get bunion surgery before enlisting and had anyone gotten it prior to coming into the army.
If I need it done in the army, will I get discharged? I've seen some stuff thrown around that you can be after having the surgery.

The only regulation I found was this in the Sept. 2020 edition DoDi 6130.03
Hallux Valgus=Bunion
Symptomatic deformity of the toes (acquired or congenital), including but not limited to conditions such as hallux valgus, hallux varus, hallux rigidus, hammer toe(s), claw toe(s), or overriding toe(s).
Admins, I'd appreciate if this can be left up. Not a whole lot of info online about it.
Appreciate any insight, thank you!

Also I pronate which means I have flat feet/high arches. The consensus I've seen is that as long as it does not hurt me then I'm fine?
In my case I belive I have some slightly high arches, nothing severe to cause issues though.
The only regulation I found was this in the Sept. 2020 edition DoDi 6130.03
Hallux Valgus=Bunion, Pes Cavus=High Arch, Pes Planus=Flat Feet.
Symptomatic deformity of the toes (acquired or congenital), including but not limited to conditions such as hallux valgus, hallux varus, hallux rigidus, hammer toe(s), claw toe(s), or overriding toe(s).
(4) Clubfoot or pes cavus that may reasonably be expected to properly wearing military footwear or causes symptoms when walking, marching, running, or jumping.
(5) Rigid or symptomatic pes planus (acquired or congenital).
Appreciate any insight, thank you!

The health of the child is the most important thing for parents. However, many parents do not know that many baby products are included in the "blacklist" and are not suitable for the baby to use, and may even bring some harm to the baby. Below, I have compiled a "blacklist" of some products that babies most often come into contact with in daily life for everyone. When you want to buy them, you can see it clearly!
Toddler belt and walker
The child has been sitting on a walker for a long time, and he has not undergone the training to climb, which will easily cause his feeling disorders in the future. In addition, after the child rides the walker, the weight of his whole body is pressed down. Although he is sitting and walking, his weight is pressed on both feet. So sometimes we see children walking in the shape of clubfoot when they are riding in a walker. After a long period of time, one is that it is easy to cause the child's lower extremity deformity, and the child is also easy to develop the habit of foot varus or foot valgus.
Open pants
Not to mention that the open crotch pants expose the baby's buttocks and vulva, and it is a big safety hazard that it is easy to be injured by sharp objects or burned. Moreover, in the case of female babies, the vulva is easily infected under the exposure of physiological reasons + open crotch pants, resulting in urinary tract infections such as urethritis and cystitis. Male babies wear open pants for a long time, they will play with their genitals and develop some bad habits.
Children's side pillow
This kind of pillow has caused the death of at least 13 babies in the past. The selling point of this type of sleeping position locator is to keep the child lying flat to prevent suffocation and sudden death after rollover. But things are counterproductive: lying on the side is not guarded, it is more troublesome for children to unintentionally get on the ground, it is best for babies to lie on their backs, the simpler the better, it is impossible to superfluous.

Knee Pain & Injuries

The knee is a frequently injured joint, with its ligaments, menisci (a thin fibrous cartilage between the surfaces of some joints), and patellofemoral (knee) joint vulnerable to acute and repetitive use damage.
Most knee injuries require exercise training for rehabilitation, and some require surgery as well.
Predisposing factors to knee injury include the following:

Lower extremity malalignment (e.g. Q angle abnormalities, flat feet);
Limb length discrepancy;
Muscular imbalance and weakness.
Inflexibility;
Previous injury;
Inadequate proprioception;
Joint instability;
Playing surface and equipment problems; and
Slight predominance in females (particularly for patellofemoral problems).

Ligamentous sprains and tears are common in the knee, particularly in athletes. Because of its structure and insertion points, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is more frequently injured compared with the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Classically, the ACL is injured when external rotation of the tibia is coupled with a valgus force on the knee (e.g. direct force from the lateral side of the knee, planting the foot and twisting the knee). Ligamentous sprains and tears are common in the knee, particularly in athletes.
The menisciare also frequently injured, particularly in athletes. The medial meniscus is more frequently torn than the lateral meniscus, due in part to its attachment to the medial collateral ligament. The menisci are poorly innervated (supplied with nerves) and relatively avascular (lack of blood vessels); thus, they are not very pain sensitive and are slow to heal following injury. The “terrible triad” is a traumatic sports injury in which the ACL, medial collateral ligament, and medial meniscus are damaged simultaneously
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common disorder in young athletes (particularly females) that produces anterior knee pain. Often, patellofemoral pain syndrome is caused by an off-center line of pull of the patella, which irritates the joint surfaces and retinaculum of the knee. An off-center pull of the patella can result from insufficiency muscular imbalance during knee extension and from excessive varus and valgus stresses (a deformity involving oblique displacement of part of a limb towards/away from the midline, respectively) from Q angles outside of the normal range of 13° to 18°.

varus and valgus deformity of foot video

Hallux varus vs Hallux valgus Hallux valgus is another name for bunion, when the big toe angles inward and causes a swollen and painful bump at the big toe joint. Hallux varus is also a foot deformity, but in this case the big toe angles outward, causing a wide gap between the first and second toes. Valgus deformity is a term used in orthopedics to describe a condition in which a segment of a joint or bone is angled outward. The opposite of a valgus deformity is a varus deformity, in which a segment of a bone or joint is angled inward.The two terms, however, are often mistakenly interchanged. Such types of deformities are most often present in hips, knees, and feet. a deformity in which the foot is twisted out of normal position; see also clubfoot and see illustration. It may have an abnormally high longitudinal arch (talipes cavus) or it may be in dorsiflexion (talipes calcaneus), in plantar flexion (talipes equinus), abducted and everted (talipes valgus or flatfoot), adducted and inverted (talipes varus), or various combinations of these (talipes ... A varus deformity of the foot or knee can be a common problem, as the feet and knees take a great deal of strain. Because athletes and dancers are often encouraged to push through physical pain and to ignore minor symptoms of physical distress, they can make their varus deformities worse by not getting attention early. Cavovarus Foot Deformity Anatomy. Nearly one-fourth of all bones in the human body are in the feet. The foot is a complex, flexible structure that contains bones, joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments, all working together to enable movement and balance. Hallux valgus deformity occurs in dancers; however, there is conflicting data regarding whether the incidence of hallux valgus in dancers is greater than in the general population. 88–92 The cause of hallux valgus formation is multifactorial and likely results from a combination of genetic predisposition, foot shape, and shoe choice. Dancers ... Varus deformity, or medial side tightness, is corrected by a stepwise release of the medial soft tissue structures, the capsule, the pes anserine tendons, and the medial collateral ligament.. In correcting valgus deformity, there is no stepwise sequence. However, preserving the integrity of the iliotibial band and protecting the lateral collateral ligament are thought to prevent overcorrection. Develop. Med. Child Neurol. 1982, 24,499-503 Varus and Valgus Deformities of the Foot in Cerebral Palsy George C. Bennet Mercer Rang Derek Jones Ilrtroduction seen in children who have never walked; Deformities of the foot and ankle are and (2) hemiplegic children who are fully common among patients with cerebral mobile seldom develop a valgus deformity, palsy. Forefoot Varus is a condition in which there is angulation or inversion of the bones present in the front part of the foot when compared to the heel. In Forefoot Varus deformity, the bones present on the inside of the foot tend to become slightly high off the surface than the outer part of the foot at the time of weightbearing. Therefore, when the apex of a joint points medially, the deformity, if any, would be called valgus, as the distal part points laterally. It is important to bear in mind that the most proximal part of a bone or joint is the reference point and that varus and valgus angles are relative to the angle in a normal situation, which need not be zero.
