There is no way to save the floating bunion in the first place, and the only option is to remove the floating bunion and perform bunionization, leaving the child with only four fingers, which is hard for most parents to accept, and I see a lot of these cases in the clinic. It is often said that the appropriate time for treatment of bunions is around 6 months to 1 year of age, but in reality, some of the children we see in the clinic are older than that, and some of the reasons for this are that they have been delayed by bunionization. A year ago, I saw a child who was very sensible and was already in elementary school. He did very well in all subjects, but the only thing that he did not do well in was language arts, because he wrote with the hand that had the floating bunion and relied on the middle finger of his forefinger to hold the pen to write, so he lost a lot of points in the basic scores. I asked the child’s parents why they only came over now, and the parents said that they had seen the doctor in the local hospital before, and the doctor told them that they had to measure the age of the bones, and that the doctor would only tell them the treatment method when the age of the bones was appropriate, so they measured the age of the bones until the age of seven, and the age of the bones was finally appropriate, but the doctor gave them a treatment plan for bunionization of the thumb, which both the child and the parents were reluctant to do at that time, and the parents were always in tears, and the child rarely lost his temper and yelled at the hospital lobby, saying that he didn’t want to have only nine thumbs later on. The parents cried all the time, and the child threw a rare tantrum, yelling in the lobby of the hospital that he didn’t want to have only nine fingers. It is hard to imagine what kind of life the child would have faced if the bunionization had been done. There are many other stories like this in the clinic. Some of the children are too young to feel deeply, and their parents run around trying to find a better treatment plan for their children. However, for those children who are already a little bit mature, they are more or less familiar with thumb thumbing, and it is heartbreaking to hear their stories. Floating bunions should not only be saved, but also saved as early as possible. Because children are very smart, when they find that the thumb can not be used, they will slowly develop the habit of using the middle finger and index finger to clip things, long-term past middle finger index finger will appear a certain degree of deformation, in the child is very unfavorable. In addition to the unsightly appearance and inconvenience of use, some introverted children will also have low self-esteem, which will have an impact on the child’s mental health.
