How is thumb valgus treated? How is the hallux valgus treated?

Hallux valgus deformity is a common disease, which can affect walking function and seriously affect people's quality of life. Due to the scarcity of foot surgeons in China and the misleading diagnosis and treatment in the medical market, the lack of scientificity and misunderstanding of hallux valgus deformity have many misunderstandings.

1. Is it necessary to have surgery for hallux valgus deformity?

For ordinary people, the range of surgical indications described in professional terms is not easy to understand. Indications include: if the hallux valgus deformity is painful, the transbrace or functional ** exercise and rest do not improve, or the need for surgery when the reverse ** is performed; When the deformity is obvious, and there is compression of the two toes or overlapping of the toes, surgery is required; painful corpus callosum on the soles of the feet, marked widening of the forefoot, and painful walking, requiring surgery; Those who have joint stiffness or osteoarthritis.

In short, foot pain symptoms are ineffective at rest and conservatively**, and the deformity is obvious. For patients with simple hallux valgus deformity without symptoms, it is best to use braces and functions**, and do not choose surgery, because after surgery, painful symptoms may occur, and the gains outweigh the losses. It's important to remember that all surgical procedures are just a last resort.

2. Is minimally invasive surgery the best option?

Many patients ask me about this. Minimally invasive** requires the use of an endoscope and associated precision instruments, and must be operated by a surgeon with extensive surgical experience, otherwise the injury will be aggravated. The so-called minimally invasive is actually just a small incision, and the internal trauma of the surgical site is greater, because the accuracy of the operation under the scope cannot be compared with the operation under direct vision.

In addition, hallux valgus deformity is a very complex disease, and there are hundreds of surgical methods, if it is a simple disease, how can there be so many surgical methods. Improper minimally invasive surgery can damage normal tissue, and more importantly, minimally invasive surgery cannot complete complex operations such as osteotomy, tendon transposition and functional reconstruction. All in all, minimally invasive surgery can be used for simple osteophyte resection and adductor pollicis amputation, and for complex hallux deformities, minimally invasive surgery is risky, cannot achieve the ability to completely solve the problem, and is suspected of commercial speculation.

3. Can surgery completely ** hallux valgus deformity?

Surgery is only a means, and for hallux valgus deformity, surgery is only an adjustment to the disease, not a means. The pathology of hallux valgus deformity is complex, and it is impossible to return to normal anatomical and physiological structures under any circumstances. Therefore, the surgical protocol is designed for the patient's different lesions, with the aim of helping the affected foot to achieve relative stability and close to normal anatomy to the greatest extent possible, and cannot completely return to normal.

The ultimate goal of surgery is to improve the deformity and pain and discomfort. Therefore, do not assume that everything will be fine after the surgery, but should be taken care to avoid recurrence.

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.

Microforamen removes the big foot bone hallux valgus, and there can be no wound and infection on the foot before the big foot bone hallux valgus, and the athlete's foot should be cured if there is athlete's foot. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., it should be controlled within the normal range. After surgery, the patient can walk on the ground, which has little impact on life and work, and the postoperative anti-inflammatory ** week.

1. Conservative**, this method is mainly for massage**, which is suitable for hallux valgus with relatively mild symptoms. For example, there is a slight impact when walking, and even the little finger of the foot is just found to be valgus. At this time, you can apply a hot compress first, generally for about 15 minutes, and then massage.

Massage is mainly to relax the surrounding muscle tissue and activate the muscles and bones, through this method to reduce the symptoms of the little finger valgus of the foot, and the massage can also prevent the thumb from continuing to turn out.

2. Wear a brace for **, this method is mainly corrected according to the specific condition of hallux valgus, generally wearing orthopedic shoes or other types of orthopedic braces. This brace can be a good way to prevent hallux valgus from progressing to a worse condition, and at the same time, it can also provide a correct guide to hallux valgus, prompting it to slowly return to normal, so as to have the best effect. The process is slower when wearing a brace, but it is the most effective method for mild hallux valgus.

3. Surgery**, when the above two methods are not effective for hallux valgus**, you can choose surgery**, because the hallux valgus at this time is already more serious, and even has caused foot deformity, which requires surgery**. Surgery** is also divided into two aspects, which are minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery, and the specific surgical method can be selected according to the individual's condition.

Patients with valgus of the foot and thumb are recommended to use instrumental correction: the malformation of the hammer finger can be gradually corrected by finger twisting and finger pulling in the initial stage. After correction, the affected finger is straightened and fixed with a small finger splint to alleviate the progression of the disease.

Be so careful to avoid excessive movement and wear loose, comfortable shoes.

The reason why microporous big foot bone hallux valgus surgery is highly regarded is because it meets the needs of beauty seekers, many people's big foot bone hallux valgus is really not good-looking, but it does not reach the level of pain, except for wasting shoes, everything else does not affect, so compared with the ugly postoperative surgical wound, it is better to smooth it.

The environment we live in, all the time will undergo all kinds of changes, with the development of social economy and the progress of science and technology, people are paying more and more attention to their own health, it is inevitable that we will encounter a variety of situations that lead to the occurrence of corresponding diseases, on the one hand, the factors are due to our own low immunity and weakened resistance, on the other hand, due to the dynamic changes in the external environment and uncertain factors. Among the more common diseases include hallux valgus of the foot, which is usually seen in genetics, trauma and malnutrition, so for this disease, according to different conditions, take different programs, which can be corrected by wearing some physical instruments, and can also be corrected through changes in living habits, if the situation is serious, surgery can be considered, but we must be clear that different scenarios are different options. <

For the hallux valgus of the foot, this disease is also relatively common in the clinic, so we should understand his symptoms, for the diagnosis of the disease, ** also has a very important role, first of all, it produces symptoms including a pain in the foot, bone hyperplasia resulting in some clinical manifestations. <

For some adolescents with this kind of valgus, a placeholder can be worn, so as to correct this symptom to a certain extent, and it can be corrected through a certain period of growth and development. Another situation is hallux valgus in adults, for mild symptoms, it is also similar to the method of adolescents, and if there are more serious symptoms, then it is recommended to have surgery. In addition, when this happens, we should avoid wearing some high heels, you can wear some flat shoes, to avoid a compression effect on the injured part, which is not helpful for the recovery of the disease.

If it is not severe, you can reduce the number of times you wear high heels, or you can do it with some physical intervention**, and if it is severe, you will need surgery.

First of all, be sure to wear appropriate socks, pay attention to rest, and if it is too serious, you can have surgery**.

If you have such a situation, you should go to the hospital immediately**, and you can immediately go to some relevant places for diagnosis and treatment. Foot pads are available. can be improved.
