How to treat hallux valgus
Hallux valgus, also known as "phalanx of thumb", is a common foot disease. The phalanges of big feet not only lead to ugly feet, deformed shoes, and it is difficult to buy satisfactory shoes, but also accompanied by bunions and pain. Foot pads, corns, claw toes and other toe deformities often occur, which have a serious impact on patients' body and mind. How to treat hallux valgus thoroughly and relieve the pain caused by hallux valgus has always been the most concerned topic for patients. Why do you suffer from thumb valgus? Plastic experts said that at present, there are many factors leading to hallux valgus, and about half of patients are due to genetic factors. In addition, wearing inappropriate pointed shoes and high heels for a long time and standing and walking for a long time will strengthen ligament injury, promote the onset or accelerate the development of the disease. Many people don't have a comprehensive understanding of thumb valgus, and even many people don't know the disease of thumb valgus. They think it is congenital and they don't know how to treat it. There are also many people who don't pay attention to hallux valgus at all, thinking that this is not a disease, and they don't go to see a doctor when they find it. On the contrary, they don't want to see it until there is a callus, toe joint, bunion, deformity and foot pain. In fact, once hallux valgus is formed, it can't be recovered without treatment. Even if they only wear flat shoes and loose shoes in the future, it will only be delayed. At present, there are two methods to treat hallux valgus: surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Patients with mild hallux valgus, painless or painless hallux valgus deformity can massage their toes and move them to the inside of their feet. Usually, they should exercise their foot muscles or wear orthopedic shoes, and correct their flat feet with flat foot insoles. Patients with severe pain and deformity should be treated by surgery in time, mainly by removing synovial bursa and hyperplastic bone. At present, the operation has been greatly improved, which is an effective combination of foot orthopedic and cosmetic concepts. It can relieve pain, restore function, and at the same time achieve the purpose of beautifying feet. It has the advantages of small incision, small scar, no need of hospitalization, quick healing, no need of steel nails and plaster, only local anesthesia and follow-up treatment. In daily life, we should pay attention to prevent the occurrence of thumb valgus, and wear appropriate shoes at ordinary times. The upper should not be too hard, the heel should not be too high, and the toe should not be too narrow.
