How to treat hallux valgus?
Hallux valgus is caused by many conditions, such as hereditary wearing high-heeled pointed shoes, which makes the big toe excessively valgus. In addition, patients with flat feet are more likely to form hallux valgus. The treatment of hallux valgus can be divided into non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment, which can be chosen according to your own specific situation. For some patients with mild deformity and pain, which do not affect their life and work, non-surgical treatment can be taken in order to relieve local pressure, relieve pain and delay the development of deformity.

When walking in pointed high heels, avoid wearing professional health shoes or professional hallux valgus correction pads supported by arch. When sleeping, you can cooperate with a professional hallux valgus correction belt or orthosis, and you can also use the toe extension belt to relax the lateral ligament of the big toe. For young patients with osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion is often used; Keller's operation or artificial joint replacement can be used in elderly patients. Patients should be informed that there may be problems such as limited activity, decreased strength, residual discomfort or postoperative recurrence.
