February 02, 2016 BMJ Open TAKE-HOME MESSAGE The association between wearing high-heeled shoes and the development of musculoskeletal pathology was assessed in this systematic review of 18 studies. The researchers found an association between high-heeled shoes and hallux valgus in three of four articles, an association with pain in three of five articles, with first-party […]
