The relationship between high heels and bunions: It is undeniable that wearing high heels can make a woman’s body upright, beautiful lines and charming. Since high heels have so many advantages, wouldn’t it be better to wear high heels often? In fact, as foot and ankle surgeons, we often see foot diseases caused by incorrectly wearing high heels in the clinic. From a medical point of view, high heels are the devil that induces many foot diseases, the most common being foot bunion deformity. We all have this common sense, when we are standing, the feet bear the full weight of the body, when walking, the force borne by a single foot for their own weight plus the kinetic energy of the movement (with the pace and step speed), it can be said that our feet are engaged in a hard job. However, the human body structure is very delicate, in order to reduce foot fatigue, human beings in the evolutionary process, the foot tarsal bones and metatarsal and toe bones developed into different forms of bones, in the joint capsule and numerous ligaments, the joint action of the intrinsic muscles of the foot, in a certain order of arrangement, the formation of the unique shape of the foot and the formation of the longitudinal arch and the transverse arch of the foot, the first metatarsal head, the fifth metatarsal head and the heel bone three points of force, the arch of the foot as a shock absorber, to play a cushioning function. The arch of the foot acts as a shock absorber and performs a cushioning function. Originally, shoes are the foot’s protective gear. However, high heel shoes due to excessive elevation of the heel, destroying the normal anatomical structure of the foot, so that the human body in standing when the center of gravity leaned forward, the whole body weight is concentrated to the front of the foot, weakening the original longitudinal arch of the foot cushioning role, increasing the weight of the forefoot transverse arch, coupled with pointed shoes and forced toes in an abnormal state forced into the narrow triangle area, becoming an important factor inducing foot bunion. There are many causes of foot bunion deformity, incorrect wearing of high heels is a major factor, in addition to genetic factors, congenital foot structure abnormalities and other factors. The main clinical manifestations are: inversion of the first metatarsal, bunion, bursitis of the first metatarsal joint, outward displacement of the seed bone of the bunion, decrease in weight bearing of the first metatarsal head and increase in weight bearing of the lateral metatarsal head, inward rotation of the bunion, outward tilting of the joint surface of the first metatarsal head, collapse of the transverse arch of the foot resulting in the formation of callus under the second and third metatarsal heads, formation of mallet toe due to extrusion of the second toe, and so on. Bunion is a complex compound deformity. Due to the complex pathological mechanism of foot bunion, the treatment is also relatively complex. Currently, there are more than 130 surgical procedures listed in foot and ankle surgery monographs and more than 20 commonly used ones. In other words, the treatment of foot bunion is very complicated. So, are high heels the root of all evil? The answer is no. Wearing high heels incorrectly can cause damage to the foot. Wearing high heels correctly is still beneficial to the body. Otherwise, why would high heels exist for so many years and still be highly sought after today.
