Is the thumb valgus appliance useful?
? Many patients and friends are afraid of surgery, so they hope to treat hallux valgus with non-surgical methods. Generally speaking, the cause of hallux valgus is the slight subluxation of the joints caused by the collapse of the longitudinal arch and transverse arch of the foot caused by standing for too long, walking too much, and often wearing high heels or pointed shoes, which leads to bunions. Normal hallux valgus is within 15 degrees. If it exceeds this level, it belongs to hallux valgus and needs treatment. The principle of hallux valgus orthosis is to physically correct the deformed phalanx, which has a certain effect on the early hallux valgus.

The hallux valgus orthosis is suitable for people with mild hallux valgus, hallux deformation and plantar deformation, and can correct and limit the development of toe deformity and prevent the aggravation of toe deformity in the elderly. The effect is remarkable, which can effectively improve the walking stability and walking posture. Which belong to conservative physical correction of hallux valgus. It is forbidden to use gravity at the beginning of use, and then slowly adjust and increase the orthopedic strength after half a month of use. You can use it during the day and at night, and it is best not to use it when walking outside, mainly at night.

But for severe hallux valgus, the appliance is not suitable for treatment, especially for symptomatic hallux valgus. The appliance not only can not achieve the therapeutic effect, but will aggravate the hallux valgus, thus affecting the future treatment. The Bigfoot Bone Research Center of Songhai Hospital adopts the method of "Korean micropore orthopedic", which can complete the operation without surgery and bleeding.
