Long-term wearing of uncomfortable high-heeled shoes often leads to foot diseases. Ligaments and tendons are weak, and the bones are far apart – a malalignment called hallux valgus, which is often called a “bump” or “swelling” in the foot. It is recommended not to leave your toe alone, as this process can subsequently permanently affect the toe. Today, there are many ways to solve this problem. Wearing high heels for a long time is uncomfortable and often causes foot pain. Ligaments and muscles are weak, and the bones are different – this deviation is called hallux valgus, which is often called the “ball” or “ball” of the foot. After that, this process can constantly affect the toe, so it is recommended not to leave it alone. Today, there are many ways to solve this problem.
One of the most common conditions is hallux valgus, which resembles a crooked toe. Calluses and hardening can also form on the feet, causing pain and affecting walking and wearing shoes.
Causes deformation
Forefoot pathology is not just a cosmetic defect. Hallux valgus causes changes in all areas of the foot:
- Damage to the bone marrow
- mixed or lateral flatfoot;
- curvature of the metatarsal bones.
Today, a large number of surgical procedures are performed in the treatment of hallux valgus (protrusion of the big toe). Most often, their essence lies in the replacement of bones that are fixed in the desired position with the help of metal devices (plates, screws, etc.), the removal of which is usually a major and destructive event that requires a long recovery period. . and refuse high-heeled shoes. Modern orthopedic procedures provide the most advanced and completely non-invasive treatments!
Percutaneous Foot Surgery to Remove Hallux Valgus
Percutaneous hallux valgus correction is a highly advanced treatment method that allows permanent correction of big toe deformities and other pathologies of the forefoot, allowing rapid recovery and the shortest possible return to normal life.
One of the most important advantages of percutaneous foot surgery is that workload can be given to the foot immediately after the intervention, without the need for bone fixation (osteosynthesis). The fixation of the phalanx fragments with a bandage after toe osteotomy plays an important role in percutaneous surgery. Early loading is necessary in distal fixationless osteotomy of the lateral metatarsal bone, because the place where the metatarsal head moves and finds its optimum position is its own force.
Another reason for percutaneous surgery is acquired or congenital deformities or structural features of the foot. In most cases, these abnormalities are more of a psychological problem than an orthopedic one, especially in young patients. In such cases, “open” surgery is usually not an option: Correcting the defect results in a skin scar that is more visible than the original problem. With a percutaneous approach, the foot deformity can be eliminated and the defect can be identified.
