Some people have a bunion that flares outward, while the heel of the big toe closes inward, making the front foot look like a triangular “big snake head”, which is a bunion (commonly known as “goblet crutch” in Beijing). Severe bunions can be located underneath the second and third toes, which can cause the second and third toes to rise up and form a hammer toe over time. The heel of the big toe moves inward, where it is extremely elevated and rubs against the shoe over time, thickening and reddening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, forming a bursa, and producing bunions, causing pain, and local ulceration can cause infection. Patients with bunion deformities are often combined with calluses (hard calluses or “corns”) on the bottom of the foot. Before the surgery Before the surgery, the Chinese medicine has a long history and has a rich experience in treating deformities caused by fractures with Chinese orthopedic techniques. The Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine created a new method of minimally invasive surgery to treat bunions in the late 1980s. Compared with the traditional method, this method has less damage, smaller incision, no cast, no steel needle, faster healing, less pain, and the ability to move on the ground after surgery. At present, we continue to improve on this basis and adopt different surgical methods according to the specific conditions of the foot to be more targeted. The amount of activity in the first two weeks after coming down to the ground is appropriate for indoor activities and self-care, and try not to do unnecessary walking. After two weeks, the amount of activity can be increased. Generally, the osteotomy heals in about 6 weeks after surgery. After the operation, open 3-6 days to change the medicine, such as incision healing, can be bandaged and fixed every two weeks until the osteotomy healing, generally about 5-6 weeks. Remove bandage fixation and wear looser shoes, most patients can wear normal shoes after six months. Photo 3 months after surgery
