Over the years, I have come into contact with many children with floating thumbs, most of whom are introverted, and very few of whom are active and cheerful. Therefore, if a child is particularly cheerful, it will be very impressive. There was a little boy who was very optimistic. When he was not having the surgery, he used his floating thumb as a “toy” and pulled it in an exaggerated way. When he came back for follow-up after the surgery, he was very cooperative and we could see his progress every time. Recently, there was a little girl who was also very optimistic. She likes to play with her floating thumb, and she thinks her thumb is very cute. It’s good for children to be optimistic, and parents don’t have to worry too much about their children’s psychological problems. However, whether it’s an optimistic child or a relatively introverted child, there is one thing that you should do well after your bunion surgery, and that’s to do the functional exercises after the surgery. It is important to exercise after floating bunion surgery because we have found that the earlier and more adequate the postoperative exercise is started, the better the recovery is. Although the thumb can be used without exercise and can hold things, but the flexibility will be less. That’s why we have been emphasizing this issue, and we hope that parents will take functional exercise seriously. If you wait until the later stage when it is more stiff, then the child will not be willing to move, only let the child know from the beginning that the thumb can be moved, can be used, the child himself will develop, which is very critical.
