Laforest was the first to describe and illustrate the condition of hallux valgus. The second edition of this work (1782), "Augmentée d’un chapitre sur la manière de soigner les pieds des soldats en garnison & dans les mouvemens, & de deux planches pour l’intelligence de cet ouvrage, " was the first illustrated book on podiatry. Translated into English by D. Low, who falsely claimed authorship, and published as Chiropodologia, or a scientific enqury into the causes of corns, warts, onions, and other painful or offensive cutaneous excrescences (1785).
