What does hallux valgus fusion mean?

Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity, also known as hallux valgus deformity. Usually refers to the big toe crossing or pressing on the second toe, resulting in foot deformation. Hallux valgus can be painless, but in some cases, it may cause foot discomfort and even pain.

The fusion of hallux valgus is a surgical method to treat hallux valgus. By fixing the big toe and heel together, the irregularities and foreign bodies on the joints can be eliminated, and the growth of bones can be promoted, so as to achieve the effect of repairing the foot shape. Rehabilitation treatment is needed after operation to make the operation effect more ideal. After operation, it can improve hallux valgus deformity, relieve foot pain and improve walking comfort and self-confidence.

The hallux valgus fusion surgery is effective for the treatment of foot deformity, but it also comes with certain risks. The severity of surgical risk varies with the type of surgery and the health status of patients. Complications such as infection, bleeding and nerve injury may occur during the operation, and even need to be repaired again. Therefore, before considering the surgical treatment, we should fully consider the doctor's advice, physical condition and surgical risks to determine whether it is suitable for this kind of operation.
