What should I do if my instep is high?

Patients with high insteps can take the following treatment measures: First, these patients should go to the orthopedic department of a hospital of the second level or above as soon as possible, so as to clarify the causes of the symptoms and then deal with them. For example, there may be dorsalis pedis tendon sheath cysts, or high arched feet, or fractures or dislocations. Secondly, if it is clear that a tendon sheath cyst is present after further consultation, conservative treatment may be preferred at the initial stage. At this time, you can wear loose and comfortable shoes, and then use orthopedic manipulation to squeeze the wall of the tendon sheath cyst, and with the blood circulation and blood stasis ointment to carry out the treatment. If this kind of disease is ineffective by conservative treatment, you can also take surgery to remove it completely. Thirdly, if it is clear that high arched feet exist after consultation. This kind of patients should do the corresponding functional exercises under the guidance of the doctor to restore the intrinsic muscle strength of the foot. If the deformity is particularly severe or cannot be relieved by exercise, osteotomy of the foot and fusion of the joints are necessary. Fourthly, if there are fractures or dislocations after consultation, most of them need to be treated with surgical incision and internal fixation.
