~ VALGUS  id+ | BENT OUTWARD | 
          id+ | BOWED LEGS implies kness away | 
  note confusing terminology - in paired structures as the 
       great toe or hallux - hallux valgus or "bunion" 
  denotes a great toe pointing "away" from the other 
  but if described singly such a toe would also 
  point away from the midline of the foot and body - 
  however, if the hallux points "inward" that is an 
  instance of "hallux varus" then the tip points 
  toward the midline of the body but away from the 
  axis of the foot - such a toe could be called 
  hallux valgus in terms of the axis of the foot or 
  hallux varus in terms of the axis of the body 
  note the same confusion may arise regarding 
       "bowed legs" or genu varum or varus 
  depending if the label refers to the end of the 
  femur or the end of the tibia in relation to the knee 
  genu valgus if the femurs point away from each other 
  or in vernacular "bowed legs" as in () 
  genu varus or "knock knees" asin )(
