Recently, many netizens have discovered the concepts of hallux valgus and hallux rotation while learning about hallux valgusToday I will teach you to identify:
1. Hallux valgus
Hallux valgus is a very common foot deformity and is relatively easy to identify, hallux valgus, and the first metatarsophalangeal joint usually manifests as the thumb deviates outward beyond the normal physiological range at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Observing the appearance of the foot is the easiest way to identify hallux valgus. If you notice that your thumb is significantly deviated outward, or that the first metatarsal is wider than the others, this could be a sign of hallux valgus. In addition, you can also observe the wear and tear of the shoe, which can also be caused by hallux valgus if the inside of the shoe wears out faster than the outside.
Simple hallux valgus deformity can be corrected by microporous visual removal of the foot bone.
2. Interdigital valgus
Interdigital valgus is the dislocation of the end joint of the thumb, which is not necessarily related to the deviation of the hallux valgus. Most of this valgus is caused by wearing narrow, overly pointed shoes for a long time, squeezing the tip of the big toe.
Interdigital valgus can also be corrected by minimally invasive methods, through a microhole of about 3 mm, with a special minimally invasive osteotomy instrument to correct the crooked phalanges, and the effect of toe straightening can be seen immediately after surgery.
3. Rotate the toes
Hallux valgus is not only the deviation of the hallux, but also causes the rotation deformity between the hallux toes when it develops to a certain extent, which is due to the change of the plantar alignment and the metatarsal bone, just like the tire of a car is deviated, and the toe tip will follow the rotation.
After the toe tip is rotated, the big toe cannot be stressed normally, and the first metatarsal bone will move up and outward, so that the degree of the big foot bone will be aggravated again.
When doing big foot bone correction, it is necessary to correct the toe tip rotation deformity at the same time. If only the big foot bone is adjusted and the toe tip rotation deformity is not corrected, the force on the soles of the feet is uneven, and even if the forefoot has been narrowed, it will still be painful to walk.
