The related treatment methods of hallux valgus include conservative treatment and surgical treatment, and the specific treatment scheme is as follows: 1. Take local hot compress or physical therapy for conservative treatment, and at the same time cooperate with the improvement of daily living habits to help relieve symptoms and wear some loose shoes. 2. The sole can be padded with a soft insole, which can reduce the squeezing of the sole as much as possible and effectively relieve foot deformities such as hallux valgus. 3. If conservative treatment can't relieve symptoms well, we need to consider taking surgery to correct hallux valgus.
When necessary, attention should be paid to taking corresponding protective gear to prevent the occurrence of deformity.
The treatment of hallux valgus can be divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment.
Conservative treatment is suitable for hallux valgus with mild symptoms. For example, patients are advised not to wear shoes that are too narrow and tight, but to wear loose shoes. A toe pad can be worn between the big toe and the second toe, including some splints to correct hallux valgus. These still have a certain effect on mild hallux valgus. If hallux valgus is serious and conservative methods cannot achieve effective treatment, surgical treatment should be chosen at this time.
Of course, the severity of hallux valgus, including the influence on bones, is different, and the surgical methods of hallux valgus are also different. For example, adductor pollicis amputation, adductor pollicis reconstruction, medial phalangeal osteophyte excision, thumb cyst excision and first metatarsal shaft osteotomy; Some particularly serious hallux valgus, including osteoarthritis of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the thumb, can sometimes be taken by young patients for bone fusion; Old people sometimes do thumb metatarsophalangeal joint replacement, so the surgical treatment of hallux valgus actually varies from person to person.
