Is toe deformation a disease?
In life, we often see some people limping in high heels, which is the reason why their toes are deformed. It is really a disease in medicine, called Bigfoot. Most patients are hereditary, because it is also a disease that high heels are often squeezed. Toe deformation refers to the excessive outward deflection of the thumb beyond the normal angle. Clinically known as hallux valgus deformation, also known as hallux valgus, also known as the big foot bone. According to the etiology of toe deformity, about 50% patients with toe deformity have a family genetic history. These people have shown big toe deformity since childhood, but they have no symptoms of pain and discomfort, so few people think that the big toe bone is a disease. However, long-term deformation causes patients to suffer even when walking in the later stage, which is a common disease in medical orthopedics. In fact, toe deformation is abnormal as long as it exceeds the normal value, so it can be considered as a pathological state. Although it usually doesn't happen immediately, with the increase of age, the passage of time, the loss of human bones, and certain fatigue, bigfoot's hidden harm will appear. Moreover, in these patients with deformed toes, the degree of hallux valgus will become more and more serious, followed by serious complications: 1. With the aggravation of toe deformation, the first metatarsal varus will become more and more serious, the first metatarsal will be kneaded and the conflict will be intensified, some synovial sac will be thickened, and osteophyte will proliferate to form a large metatarsal varus. The forefoot is obviously widened, which makes it difficult for patients with large foot bones to choose a pair of suitable and beautiful shoes; In hot summer, they can't wear sandals because they think their feet are not beautiful or even ugly. 2. Due to the long-term conflict between the thumb and the second thumb, the soft tissue inside the metatarsal bone on the top of the head is hypertrophic, and some patients have aseptic inflammation and bursitis, which presents severe pain and affects walking. 3. Because the big toe leans to the outside, the second toe is lifted upward, and other toes are kneaded from the outside of the shoe, so that the second toe of the patient with big toe bone is deformed like a chicken claw, and after the back of the toe collides, a corns can be formed, especially the back of toe II and V; Together, because the toes are deformed, the metatarsal will sag and fall, forming a foot pad at the sole of the metatarsal. This condition is most common in the sole of the second metatarsal. There will be severe pain in corns and foot pads, which will appear repeatedly and affect normal daily work. 4. Because the forefoot of Bigfoot patients widens and the transverse arch collapses, the feet will be more or less everted when walking. In this way, the change of the bearing surface of the ankle joint will constitute traumatic inflammation of the ankle joint, presenting pain, and even affecting the knee joint, hip joint and waist. Because of the understanding of toe deformation, everyone should know whether it should be treated in time.
