Do hallux valgus orthoses work? Can it cure hallux valgus

Mildly useful, foot hallux valgus is mostly caused by congenital developmental abnormalities and shoes that are too tight, affecting the aesthetics and walking function of the feet. If it is serious, you can go to Chengdu Microscopic Hand and Foot Surgery Hospital for correction, there are many correction methods, and it does not take a long time.

A foot orthosis for correcting hallux valgus thumb toe deformity, comprising: a correction component composed of a hallux lateral fixation piece and a first metatarsal lateral fixation piece, forming a corrective bracket piece movable at the joint joint of the phalange piece and the metatarsal piece, and the two fixing pieces are respectively provided with perforated designs for the hallux band and the metatarsal band to wear; A hallux correction strap can be fixed in the thumb fixation piece perforation, and the tail end of the hallux fixation strap is provided with a hook and loop fastening. The metatarsal fixation belt is then inserted into the perforation of the metatarsal fixation piece.

The metatarsal shaping belt is compressed and adducted, and the two ends of the metatarsal shaping belt are hooked and fastened, and the strength can be adjusted according to the user. It also includes a crossbow support pad that can be fixed to the crossbow of the foot with a metatarsal shaping strap to support the crossbow. In addition to night use, this product can be used in shoes, that is, when the patient wears shoes during the day, it can also be used with an adhesive sponge pad on the inside of the metatarsal fixation plate to protect the metatarsal bones from friction when walking according to the range of motion of the walking phalanges and metatarsals.

In addition, according to the characteristics of hallux valgus, this product adopts the little toe orthopedic belt, can carry out arbitrary correction and fixation for the remaining four toes according to the situation of hallux valgus, the utility model combines the latest orthodontic theory and the biomechanical changes of hallux valgus, integrates the orthopedic function of traditional hallux valgus and the supporting effect of transverse arch collapse into one to realize daily combination.

You and I are in a similar situation, I used to be hallux valgus, red, swollen and painful when I walked, and sometimes I would have bunions.

The hallux valgus can be corrected conservatively and surgically.

Hallux valgus deformity refers to the valgus of the first metatarsal relative to the proximal phalanges (the angle between the first metatarsal and the axis of the proximal phalanges is greater than 15° can be considered as heel valgus deformity). Correction of hallux valgus can be done in two ways: non-surgical** and surgical**.

Non-surgical** is mainly suitable for mild deformities, mainly by wearing loose shoes (to avoid squeezing and rubbing the inside of the toe), valgus orthoses, orthopedic shoes, or flat foot insoles for correction.

Surgery** is mainly suitable for patients with severe deformity or pain that is difficult to relieve, and the main methods are soft tissue surgery, osteotomy and orthopedic surgery, soft tissue combined with osteotomy and orthopedic surgery.

It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in a timely manner, and choose the method that suits them according to the doctor's advice according to the different symptoms and severity.

1. Regularly do some actions that can play a role in rehabilitation: the action of rehabilitation is mainly to lay a piece of toilet paper or bed sheet on the ground, let the feet lay flat on the bed sheet or toilet paper, and use the position of the big toe to grab the toilet paper or bed sheet again and again, which can improve the strength of the foot bones and muscles. This method mainly plays a role in preventing and mild thumb valgus symptoms, which requires long-term persistence and slow results.

2. Cooperate with the corrector**: The main principle of the corrector is to pull the bone through external force, so as to restore the bone to its original appearance. Orthodontic equipment can be purchased at a professional medical institution or at a store.

Common correctors include those that are attached to the position of the big toe, and there are also insoles that have a correction function.

3. Use surgery to correct: At present, this is the most effective way to use thumb valgus, through surgical cutting and intuitive adjustment of the bone valgus. Before the surgery, it is necessary to scientifically judge the degree of thumb valgus and observe the specific situation of thumb valgus.

After the operation, you can arrange work and study, and it is recommended to go to this regular hospital for treatment.

Patients with valgus can use loose shoes that fit the shape of the foot (heel height does not exceed the amount of the foot**. This type of shoe will have an extra section that will accommodate the deformed thumb. It is preferred by older adults and patients with neurovascular disease, and the most common valgus caused by metatarsal abnormalities caused by genetic factors include:

The first metatarsal is rounded, the metatarsal angle is large, the metatarsal bone is attached, and there is a congenital sesamoid deformity. Suggests that valgus deformity cannot be corrected non-surgically**, but the pathological process of valgus can be corrected by functional exercises.

In other words, if you want to correct the deformity, just do the math, the root cause of hallux valgus is an imbalance in the soft tissues, but if the soft tissues are in an imbalance for a long time, in the long run, it may be accompanied by a deformity of the bone structure. Hallux valgus is a genetic predisposition, but it is also associated with some bad habits, such as USO in narrow heels for long periods of time, and some other foot diseases, with surgery, other patients may receive it in time**.

The problem is solved with minimally invasive soft tissue surgery, which requires only about 1 cm of incision and does not damage ligaments and joints. Surgery and walking can be performed immediately after surgery. If necessary, the thumb value can be corrected surgically.

For example, removal of the metatarsal bones can correct hallux valgus and restore the appearance of the foot. Now, there is also minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery** for congenital hallux valgus. This minimally invasive orthopedic procedure not only completes the thumb in one go, but also corrects hereditary hallux flaps.

If it is found to be in infancy, a conservative** can be taken as a USO orthosis.

Correct the hallux value as much as possible, but if you find that there are too many shoes, do not wear pointed-toe shoes such as high heels. Try to choose shoes with a loose head and a low heel, preferably flats. Later, or the patient's hallux valgus is much corrected than finger valgus, and the surgery is relatively less invasive.

If this cannot be corrected, we can only consider the method of surgery**. I hope you are happy. You can recover quickly, with fewer complications, and without affecting your normal work and life.

The onset of the disease is also earlier, in childhood can be found obvious symptoms, for this disease can be corrected **, commonly used correction methods are wearing medical equipment, surgery and personal conditioning three main means. It is possible to wear orthotics.

First, medical devices can be worn, and secondly, they can be surgical**. Orthoses can be used and the results are not bad.

You can avoid more arch training, or you can use yoga to roll your toes. The use of orthotics is not recommended because it is too damaging to the feet.
