What is the procedure of hallux valgus operation?

Operation process of hallux valgus: The patient is lying on the operating table with spinal anesthesia. After spinal anesthesia took effect, the operating area was disinfected with iodophor solution for three times and covered with sterile towel sheets. Incision of subcutaneous tissue with dorsal arc incision, blunt separation of tissue, excision of local bursitis, transposition and suture of adductor pollicis, wedge osteotomy of distal metatarsal bone, drilling with kirschner wire or metatarsal plate and fixation. Tighten the joint capsule to correct joint subluxation, improve deformity after the above correction, rinse the incision and suture the incision layer by layer. External fixation with plaster or brace for three weeks after operation. When walking in pointed high heels, avoid wearing professional health shoes or professional hallux valgus correction pads supported by arch. When sleeping, you can cooperate with a professional hallux valgus correction belt or orthosis, and you can also use the toe extension belt to relax the lateral ligament of the big toe. For young patients with osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion is often used; Keller's operation or artificial joint replacement can be used in elderly patients. Patients should be informed that there may be problems such as limited activity, decreased strength, residual discomfort or postoperative recurrence.
