How to treat hallux valgus?

The treatment of hallux valgus depends on the severity of foot deformity and the age of the patient. Treatment methods are mainly divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment.

Hallux valgus is mostly caused by congenital dysplasia or long-term tight shoes, which belongs to skeletal dysplasia. Mild cases can be treated with corrective tape, and severe cases must be treated by surgery.

Conservative treatment of hallux valgus is mainly aimed at patients with mild valgus and mild pain. Generally, you can gradually recover through massage, physical therapy, wearing suitable shoes, walking barefoot and other methods. The surgical treatment of hallux valgus is to remove osteophyte and transfer adductor pollicis to recover.

At present, the best method to treat hallux valgus is minimally invasive hallux valgus correction, which is based on traditional surgery and can be successfully treated with a small incision smaller than 1 cm. Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive hallux valgus surgery has the advantages of less injury, less pain, faster recovery and no recurrence. After the operation, the patient can work in the fields, which has little impact on work and life.
