How is pediatric foot valgus formed, and what does foot valgus look like?

In children, foot valgus, the first metatarsal varus, the angle between the first and second metatarsal bones increases, and the metatarsobaricular joint is mildly subluxated; The first metatarsal head forms an osteophyte on the inside of the foot, which is thickened locally due to long-term friction of the upper, and is red, swollen and inflamed in severe cases, which is what we call bunion. If hallux valgus is severe, the second toe will be squeezed dorsally by the hallux, forming a hammer-shaped finger. The onset of hallux valgus is also related to genetics, and often wearing pointed-toe shoes or high heels to stand for too long and walk too much can also easily cause pediatric foot valgus, and genetics is also one of the causes of pediatric foot valgus.

Non-surgical**Pediatric foot valgus method: For patients with mild hallux valgus and relatively mild pain, they can massage the thumb of the foot and move the toe to the inside of the foot**. You can also put a cotton pad between the thumb and the second toe, or at night by tying a straight splint on the inside of the thumb to straighten the toe.

In addition, walking barefoot on sand can exercise the muscles of the feet and delay the progression of the disease.

Surgery**Pediatric foot valgus method: suitable for patients with severe pain and severe deformity. The latest method of big foot thumb valgus, the surgery is mainly to remove the bursa and hypertrophic bone.

If the capsule on the medial aspect of the metatarsophalangeal joint is too loose, it can be tightened by overlapping sutures to the part of the capsule. Conhallicular adductor tenotomy and first metatarsal osteotomy are also commonly used.

Hello. Foot valgus is a deformity caused by abnormal development of tendons in the foot, accompanied by flat feet and scaphoid collapse, and the three-point line of the midpoint of the calf, the center of the Achilles tendon, and the center of the calcaneus is shaped. In addition, foot valgus can also cause ankle valgus deformation.

One possibility is that the baby is deficient in calcium, and another possibility is that it is born, this is a major event, it must be early, otherwise the child will be discriminated against by others when he grows up.

It may be caused by the baby's calcium deficiency, and it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to take a picture of the baby.

I guess I got used to it when I was a kid.

Foot valgus is caused by contracture of the peroneal muscles, resulting in the foot being turned outward, with the calcaneus moving outward, the talus bone subluxation inward, and the inner edge of the arch lowering

Causes: 1. Children with cerebral palsy with foot valgus are damaged by upper motor neurons, and loss of control over lower motor neurons can cause abnormal calf muscle tone, resulting in poor stability of foot and ankle joints, and seriously affecting the weight-bearing, standing and walking functions of the lower limbs.

2. From an anatomical point of view, the cause of foot valgus is that the foot valgus muscle (peroneal longus and brevis muscle, third peroneal muscle) muscle strength is too high, and the foot varus muscle (flexor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior and posterior muscle) muscle strength is too weak.

3. From the perspective of growth and development and biomechanics, the causes of foot valgus are very complex, especially when the child begins to stand upright and bear weight, the functional development of the ankle and foot is affected by the knee, hip and trunk, which will aggravate the formation of foot valgus, and at the same time, the foot valgus will affect the knee, hip and trunk.

If it is accompanied by gastrocnemius paralysis, it is manifested as supine toe valgus heel foot; If the Achilles tendon is strong or contractures, clubfoot is present; If there is paralysis of the intrinsic muscles of the foot, resulting in the destruction of the muscle strength to maintain the arch of the foot, it will be accompanied by arch collapse, abduction and external rotation of the forefoot.

The causes of foot valgus can be divided into two aspects: congenital factors and acquired factors.

Congenital factors: Congenital factors caused by foot valgus will be found after the baby is born, which is mainly caused by abnormalities in joints, nerves, muscles, etc.

Acquired factors: Acquired factors are very related to wearing shoes, especially women, usually because the heel is too high to fix the heel, the shoe is too sharp or too narrow, easy to squeeze the toe friction or compression, over time it will cause foot valgus, make the foot painful, resulting in mobility disorders.

In addition, calcium deficiency or poor habits are also causes of foot valgus in infants. Babies are in a period of bone development, calcium is an important part of bones, if the baby is deficient in calcium, it can affect the healthy development of bones, lead to foot valgus, and even other more serious diseases.

For the baby's foot valgus, it is best to give it an effective ** as soon as possible in the early stage of its onset, so as not to delay the best ** time due to temporary negligence, resulting in aggravation of the condition and endangering the child's foot health. According to statistics, more than 95% of babies can still get feet with normal function, landing on the soles of their feet, and being able to wear shoes normally.

The cause is thought to be tension in the tibialis anterior muscle, which can be restored to a neutral position of 90° when the ankle is passively corrected. It has also been suggested that the foot valgus due to intrauterine pressure on the fetus is not caused by tibialis anterior muscle tension. Excessive heel tilt.

It usually occurs with flat feet and X-shaped legs, and usually occurs together with flat feet, and the causes are also divided into congenital inheritance and acquired muscle weakness, ligament relaxation, obesity, etc. Increases pressure on the medial arch, worsens flat foot problems, and affects gait.

Because the fetus is in the mother's womb, the foot is squeezed for a long time, resulting in dorsiflexion and valgus of the calcaneus, which is usually a problem with the posture of the foot rather than the alignment of the bones.

Pediatric foot valgus is one of the most common deformities of the foot. It is usually caused by abnormal development of tendons in the feet. At the same time, it is accompanied by flat feet, scaphoid collapse, etc.

Some foot valgus can also cause ankle and knee valgus and other deformities. The earlier it is found, the sooner it is found, the better the long-term efficacy. There are generally conservative and surgical.

Generally take the conservative** first. Conservative**, by massaging the tendons and other soft tissues to reduce and then fix with bandages, if conservative** is ineffective, then consider surgery**. It is advisable to take your child to a specialist children's hospital for a check-up.

It is better to do it as soon as possible** after diagnosis.
