First of all, if the patient has hallux valgus symptoms, it depends on the angle of hallux valgus, whether it will cause bunion and the clinical symptoms of the patient. If the patient has hallux valgus, it will not affect the normal walking, nor will it squeeze the second toe to form the second toe, and there is no obvious bunion, so it can be treated with orthosis.

Secondly, if the patient's hallux valgus is serious, resulting in obvious cyst of the second big toe and pain in the metatarsophalangeal joint when walking, a small range of osteotomy is needed. Minimally invasive surgery is generally not recommended for hallux valgus, because the recurrence rate after this operation is high, which leads to the failure of the operation, so small-scale osteotomy is recommended. Common surgical methods include tendon transfer, osteotomy, orthopedic internal fixation and so on.

Finally, after operation, we should continue to wear hallux valgus orthosis for fixation, and usually choose loose and soft shoes to gradually increase the athletic ability of the foot, but early load exercise is not recommended. Massage, moving your big toe to the inside of your foot, walking barefoot on the beach, exercising your foot muscles, hot compress and rest can all be used for treatment. And pulling the first toe in the opposite direction on both sides, four times a day, each time about 5- 10 minutes, can effectively improve hallux valgus.

To sum up, if it is a simple hallux valgus, the treatment effect can be achieved through the appliance. Usually, it can also be corrected by local massage with traditional Chinese medicine. For patients whose condition continues to deteriorate after non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment still needs to evaluate the severity of hallux valgus deformity, and then choose the appropriate surgical plan according to the pathological characteristics.
