1, flatfoot operation
Include reconstruction of posterior tibial tendon, calcaneal osteotomy, spring ligament reinforcement, subtalar joint fixation, achilles tendon lengthening and wedge osteotomy.
2. General recovery after operation
Based on the operation, the patient will not be able to walk for 2-6 weeks after operation, and the time to start walking depends on the specific operation during operation.
In order to rest the sick foot, patients need to use crutches, walkers and wheelchairs.
Hard plaster bandage was used for 2 weeks after operation.
About 2 weeks after the operation, the clinic will review it.
Patients are usually required to wear detachable boots.
Three weeks after operation, the patient can start walking in boots, depending on the degree of discomfort of the patient and the guidance of the doctor.
Physical therapy is very helpful for ankle movement and strength recovery.
Bow support is very helpful to the recovery of patients.
The patient needs physical therapy 1-2 months.
Feet, ankles and legs will swell moderately in about 6 months.
Postoperative patients need to continue to improve exercise and exercise intensity for about 9 months.
Patients may have mild pain 4-6 months after operation.
3. Special treatment after operation
(1) days 1
Put plaster bandage on the affected foot, ice compress, raise the affected foot and use painkillers.
The affected foot may be numb for 4- 12 hours, and a small amount of blood may ooze from the dressing. Change the dressing.
(2) Day 14
It's the first time for the patient to see a doctor, change the dressing and check the wound.
Put boots on the patient, and if the patient is tolerant, he can bear the weight (calcaneal osteotomy takes 6 weeks, after the doctor checks).
(3) Week 6-8
You can completely put on your boots and start physical therapy (soaking your feet in hot water).
At the end of the eighth week, take off your boots for further exercise (refer to flat foot exercise).
4. Can flat feet be inherited?
1, what is a flat foot?
Flat feet are mainly caused by abnormal bone morphology, muscle atrophy, ligament contracture or chronic strain, which leads to the collapse of the longitudinal arch of the foot or the disappearance of elasticity.
2. The causes of flat feet
The main causes of flatfoot include the following: 1, genetic factors; 2. Congenital foot bone deformity; 3. Foot trauma or chronic strain; 4. The medial muscle or lateral muscle of the foot is weak or paralyzed and spasmodic. 5, the outer eight characters; ⑥ heel valgus; 7. x-shaped legs; 8. Hallux valgus; 9. Obesity; 10, senile organism degenerates; 1 1, bones grow too fast during development; 12, malnutrition; 13, penetrating hard bottom for a long time.
3. Can flat feet be inherited?
From the above reasons, we know that heredity is also one of the causes of flatfoot, so some flatfoot patients are hereditary.
4. Heritability of Flat Foot
Flat foot is not 100% hereditary disease, but it belongs to general dominant inheritance. Many people have this disease together, and children are easy to inherit.
5. Hereditary flatfoot
If you find that you have a genetic tendency, you should often practice walking with the outer edge of the sole of your foot. Physical therapy is also effective in the early stage. The specific methods are as follows: walk on tiptoe and bend on tiptoe. In addition, you can wear a flat-footed insole or a flat-footed orthopedic shoes to raise the inside of the heel and make the load-bearing line move outward, thus preventing and reducing foot fatigue.
