1.What is valgus? Ectropion, commonly known as “bigfoot”, “foot orphan”, is a common deformity of the foot. The disease is characterized by the foot big [toe outward, its root bulge a package, making the front foot form an unsightly triangular deformity, often combined with the bottom of the foot callus (that is, hard calluses or “corns”). [If the bunion is severe, the second toe can be jacked up and the toe cannot be straightened over time, which is medically known as “hammertoe” deformity. 2.Why do you have bunions? In addition to genetic factors, acquired footwear factors are also an important cause of the disease, which is generally considered to be the result of unreasonable force on the palm of the foot when walking and inappropriate choice of shoes, especially high-heeled shoes, pointed shoes are more likely to induce or aggravate the disease, in fact, [toe bunion in some countries has been as high as 50%. The main danger of the disease is to cause inflammation, pain and no suitable shoes to wear, bringing great pain to work and life; especially [toe metatarsal joint in a semi-dislocated position, in the case of long periods of time can not be normal force, gradually appear osteoarthrosis, joint cartilage is destroyed, osteophytes, joint space narrowing, making the pain more intense. 3.Can ectropion be prevented? Toe ectropion can be prevented. For patients with early or mild [toe ectropion and mild pain symptoms, prevention can be achieved by massage, wrenching the toe to the inside of the foot, walking barefoot on sandy ground, exercising the foot muscles, applying heat and rest. You can also put leather bands on the first toe on both sides to do traction in opposite directions, 4 times a day for 5 to 10 minutes each time. Or put rubber bands on all the toes, and then the toes do the separation action. If the patient also suffers from foot pads, flat feet or heel pain, metatarsal pads, flat foot pads or heel pads can also be used at the same time. When choosing shoes with a flat and wide toe is good, and the heel should not be too high. 4.Can I be cured by conservative treatment if I have exostosis? The answer is no. [At the early onset of valgus, certain orthopedic braces can be used to slow down the aggravation of the disease. However, it cannot solve the fundamental problem. 5.What are the general methods of surgery for clubfoot? There are too many surgical methods to solve this problem. There are more than 200 surgical methods recommended by academic journals, and there are six or seven most commonly used clinically. There are three types of surgery: soft tissue surgery, bony surgery, and combined bone and soft tissue corrective surgery. The main method of surgery is the traditional large incision, which also requires some internal and external fixation. The patient needs to be bedridden for 3-4 weeks after the surgery, and the recovery time is long. Moreover, the recurrence rate of the surgery is high. Now the application and development of minimally invasive surgery provides a new treatment method and idea for the treatment of [exostosis. 6.What are the advantages of combining Chinese and Western medicine with minimally invasive surgery treatment? The combination of Chinese and Western medicine is a new treatment method based on the minimally invasive technology of Western medicine and the application of Chinese medicine theory throughout the whole process of ectropion treatment. The method mainly consists of 2-3 incisions of about 1 cm and the use of minimally invasive instruments to complete the osteotomy correction within the incision, with Chinese medicine techniques and bandages and tape external fixation. Compared with the traditional method, it has the characteristics of small incision, no internal fixation, no cast, ability to move on the ground after surgery, little pain, fast recovery and less complications. 7.What are the complications of this surgery? It is irresponsible to deny that there are surgical risks and complications, and it is an act of clamor. Complications generally include: recurrence of deformity, [entropion, infection, pain, osteonecrosis after osteotomy, etc. The above complications are only possible problems after surgery. If we can design the surgical plan rigorously, together with fine operation during surgery and careful care after surgery, the chances of complications are very small.
