What should I do if I have hallux valgus? What should I do if I have hallux valgus?

Hallux valgus is a relatively common disease, and the big **methods are divided into two categories, one is non-surgical**, and the other is surgical**. Non-surgical** mainly has the following aspects:

1. Reduce local pressure, such as not wearing shoes that are too sharp or too small to reduce the pressure on the hallux;

2. Use anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs;

3. Use some orthoses for correction;

4. Functional exercise.

There are more than 190 surgical methods, and the surgical method is mainly based on the degree of hallux valgus, such as mild, moderate, and severe hallux valgus, including the angle of hallux valgus, and whether there is any deformity of other bones or second toes. As for whether it is the best method, it varies from person to person, and the appropriate method is taken according to the degree or course of the hallux valgus.

The big foot bone is mainly surgically applied, and local anesthesia will be applied at the time of surgery, which can reduce the pain. If the big foot bone is only deformed, but there are no other symptoms, you can first apply a conservative** topical warm compress, and then wear loose shoes on a daily basis.

Hallux valgus is a very common phenomenon, there is no need to worry, but it is really ugly, and some people will also have pain, swelling, the cause of this, mainly genetics, some people are acquired bad habits, caused, usually to exercise the muscles of the soles of the feet.

Hallux valgus is a relatively common foot deformity in middle-aged and elderly women, which is often caused by development and long-term wearing of narrow shoes. The specific method of this situation should be determined according to the severity of hallux valgus. If there are no clinical symptoms, only a deformity, no special ** is required.

If hallux valgus is only mild, correction with foot clips or hallux valgus shoes should be required. If the deformity is severe and is accompanied by severe pain that interferes with foot movement, orthopaedic surgery should be indicated**. The method of hallux valgus is as follows:

1. Early stage: the purpose of correction is achieved through drug fumigation, self-exercise or wearing orthoses; 2. Medium-term: through minimally invasive surgery, small needle knife, sickle needle, soft tissue and joint capsule release, improve hallux valgus; 3. If the hallux valgus angle is greater than 15-20, or even greater than 30, minimally invasive ** cannot be performed, and it is necessary to undergo osteotomy correction and osteophyte removal of the first metatarsal head through surgery to restore its normal position; Secondly, the micro steel plate of the foot can also be corrected, and the effect is better.

Wishing you good health.

Thumb valgus is very common and often appears in middle-aged and elderly people, so it is not terrible to pay attention to it, and it is easy to deal with it, but it should be dealt with in a timely manner, not dragged, if it is dragged around, it will be very serious.

Although the method of hallux valgus will be more difficult, there are still ways to carry out this disease, and the effect is still relatively good.

Second, how to ** hallux valgus.

1.Physiotherapy: If the hallux valgus is not particularly severe, then you can choose to be conservative**, mainly for patients who have no symptoms or have mild symptoms.

Warm compresses can be applied with physiotherapy, which can effectively relieve bunionitis. Soft pads are also needed inside the shoes to reduce pain in the soles of the feet, and splints or thumb clips can be used at night to relieve pain.

2.Corrective surgery: to improve the condition of hallux valgus through open surgery, it can improve the condition of knuckle deformity to a certain extent.

However, depending on the condition of different people, the method of surgery is also different, and if the patient is mild to moderate, the medial bone of the metatarsal head can be removed. If the symptoms are severe, basal osteotomy may be an option.

3. Precautions for hallux valgus.

1.Long healing time: If you have corrective surgery for hallux valgus, the recovery time is very long, the healing of the bone takes a very long time, and it also takes a long time to fix after the surgery.

2.Reduce walking: During this period, it is best not to let yourself walk for a long time, especially when running.

3.Toe movement: After the surgery has been performed and has been immobilized for 6 weeks, it is necessary to strengthen the exercises and activities that prevent the thumb from becoming stiff and the blood clots in the veins of the lower limbs.

If hallux valgus is more severe, surgery is a better method, and conservative surgery may delay and worsen the symptoms. If hallux valgus is only in the early stages, it is better to take a conservative approach, after all, even if the surgery is less traumatic, it is still harmful. The best way to conservatively use hallux valgus** is usually to use orthopedic tools such as split-toe socks, corrective foot pads such as Codman insoles, and wear loose shoes.

Congenital factors are important factors in hallux valgus. However, in many cases, hallux valgus is caused by acquired factors. In life, because of likes and needs, people wear narrow or high-heeled shoes, which is like putting a tight spell on the feet, so that the feet are always suffering from squeezing; Poor walking posture will also cause uneven force on the feet, resulting in foot deformation.

These are non-genetic factors that cause hallux valgus.

If you have a hallux valgus, well, if you think it is particularly affected, you can do a corrective surgery first, and then do some corrective measures later.

First of all, we must figure out what causes it, usually there are two kinds of situations that cause this, one is more common, that is, it is caused by wearing shoes that do not fit, that is, it is caused by often wearing some high heels, and it is caused by genetic factors.

Thumb valgus is a foot disease, which is manifested as the big thumb turned outward, the sole of the foot widens, and some patients will have joint pain in the thumb, and even knee joint inflammation in severe cases. The causes of valgus are complex, with improper shoe wear, structural abnormalities of the foot, and genetics all contributing to thumb valgus. After the hallux valgus is found, the following methods can be used**.

1. Conservative**.

After hallux valgus is detected, patients should avoid wearing shoes with pointed heads, women should wear fewer high-heeled shoes, and patients with bunions should take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation. In addition, patients who are able to use an orthodontic brace can also be used to reduce the symptoms of valgus, and a night corrective splint can be used when sleeping at night. Conservative** is only effective for early patients, and can only achieve temporary pain relief, not completely**.

2. Surgery**.

If the patient's hallux valgus is already serious, and the big toe squeezes the second and third toes, resulting in deformation and dislocation of the second and third toes, the simple conservative ** can no longer control the condition, and surgery is necessary**. Arthrodesis may be considered for patients with severe arthritis with the big toe, soft tissue tightening and tightening for patients with mild subluxation, and osteotomy and soft tissue surgery for patients with severe subluxation.

3. Minimally invasive**.

Minimally invasive can also be the hallux valgus. It should be noted that minimally invasive surgery should be carried out on the basis of ensuring the efficacy, and the indications should be strictly controlled to avoid complications such as osteotomy and aggravation of joint dislocation.

No matter what method is taken**thumb valgus, patients must pay attention to daily maintenance after recovery, and do not wear pointed-toe high heels after recovery, so as to avoid deformity**. In addition, there may be scars left after surgery, so patients who have high requirements for the aesthetics of their legs must communicate with their doctor before surgery and choose the most suitable surgical method based on various factors.

There are many causes of foot thumb and foot valgus, the most common considerations are the following: For example, if the patient has some underlying medical conditions, rheumatoid arthritis can cause hallux valgus deformity. Then, some patients may have congenital problems with self-development, and some genetic factors may cause thumb and foot valgus.

There are also patients who usually wear high heels and pointed scalp shoes, which can also cause hallux valgus. Then there is local trauma, which can also cause hallux and foot valgus.

Hallux valgus is caused by a variety of conditions, such as genetics of often wearing high-heeled pointed-toe shoes, which causes the hallux to turn out excessively. In addition, patients with flat feet are more likely to develop hallux valgus. The hallux valgus is divided into non-surgical and surgical, which can be selected according to your specific situation.

For some deformities that are mild, the pain is mild, and do not affect life and work, non-surgical ** can be taken, with the purpose of reducing local pressure, relieving pain, and delaying the development of deformity.

Avoid wearing pointed-toe heels When walking, you can wear professional health shoes with arch support or professional hallux valgus correction pads. When sleeping, it can be used with a professional hallux valgus brace or orthosis, and the hallux extension band can also be used to relax the lateral hallux ligament. For patients with pre-existing osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, younger patients are more likely to use first metatarsophalangeal arthropesis; In older patients, Keller surgery or arthroplasty may be used.

Patients should be informed that there may be limitations of movement, decreased strength, residual discomfort, or postoperative problems.

Usually pay more attention to exercise, especially to exercise the position of the feet, wear shoes should also pay more attention, wear some loose shoes, soft shoes, do not wear some pointed and narrow shoes, this is very important, the main reason for this, is the acquired reason.

The 5D microporous arc removal of the big foot bone surgery is short, easy and safe, no hospitalization, no ***, and does not affect walking.

Hallux valgus is when the middle joint between the hallucephalanges and the first metatarsal is deviated by more than 15 degrees. Hallux valgus is caused by a variety of conditions, such as genetics, often wearing high heels, pointed-toe high heels, and excessive hallux valgus. In addition, patients with flat feet are more likely to develop hallux valgus.

Women outnumber men, and are more common in middle-aged and older women, and those with habitual high heels and pointed-toe heels are also more likely to develop the disease.

The causes of thumb valgus can be divided into two categories: congenital elements and acquired elements. Congenital elements are caused by joints, nerves, muscles, etc.

For example, flat feet, genetic inheritance, and the reduction and imbalance of the strength of the sole of the foot can reduce the function of the sole of the foot, resulting in instability and deformation. The acquired elements are caused by the clothing that does not conform to the boots, generally because the heel of the shoes is too high, too pointed and too narrow, so that the heel is not easy to be fixed, which leads to extrusion friction and compression on the toes, which not only affects the flexion and extension and activity of the toes, resulting in discomfort and pain, but also continues to destroy the role of the original three starting points, and when walking, the net weight of the whole body falls on the front end of the foot to develop, and the toes will slowly deform because of the compression of the net weight of the human body, which will lead to the condition of the thumb valgus.

Long-term valgus relaxes the tendon in the middle of the metatarsal, and although there is a tenacious tendon connection in the middle of the metatarsal, the first cuneiform is less connected to the first metatarsal than the other cuneiforms. If you stand up for too long, walk too much, and often wear high heels or pointed-toe high heels, the first cuneiform and metatarsal will have a bearing capacity of more than 25%, which will promote the inward movement of the first metatarsal, causing the longitudinal arch and transverse arch of the foot to collapse, and the hallux will be displaced by the extension of the adductor pollicis and extensor pollicis longus, and the angle between the metatarsal bones will increase. The first metatarsal head produces an osteophyte on the inside of the foot, hallux valgus slowly intensifies, and the second toe is squeezed dorsally by the hallux, and the interphalangeal joints are flexed, resulting in a hammer toe.

Hallux valgus is named when the hallux moves more than 15 degrees to the sides at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and hallux valgus is caused by genetic inheritance and acquired incorrect tolerance. Because hallux valgus makes many women's feet deformed and painful, affecting the appearance and gradually being highly valued, in that case, hallux valgus should also be born from time to time. Internationally, hallux valgus correction is generally used in the daytime, and hallux valgus orthosis is recommended at night.

Allowing the thumb to respond to all normal physiology is the overall goal of the hallux valgus aligner and the sole.

First of all, it is necessary to find out what exactly causes such a situation.

At present, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are two factors that can be caused, the first factor is the internal factor, that is, the genetic factor, and the other factor is the own factor, such as wearing high heels or pointed shoes for a long time.
