Complications of big toe surgery

I believe everyone should have experienced hallux valgus, also known as hallux valgus. Although this symptom will not affect physical health, it will have a certain impact on daily life. Therefore, many people choose to undergo hallux valgus surgery. However, some people are worried about adverse effects. In fact, there is no big impact of hallux valgus surgery. Next, the editor will give you a detailed introduction to the sequelae of hallux valgus surgery.

Hallux valgus, also known as hallux valgus, is a common toe deformity in which the big toe deviates outward, exceeding the physiological hallux valgus angle. If hallux valgus is not treated in time, it may cause other toe deformities and hallux valgus symptoms, manifested as widening of the forefoot, hammer toe of the second toe, collapsed arch of the foot, secondary swelling and pain of the bunion, and a "snake-head-like" appearance that affects the beauty of the foot.

Sequelae

1. Swelling

Some patients will experience varying degrees of swelling in their feet after big toe surgery. This is because the foot is far away from the center of the body, and the swelling lasts longer after foot surgery than after surgery on other parts of the body.

2. Bleeding

Patients often notice a small amount of blood oozing through the bandage after surgery. This often happens after big toe surgery. If blood continues to seep or soaks your clothes, please return to your doctor promptly.

3. Pain

This is the most common symptom of postoperative complications of big toe surgery. There will be a little pain in the wound after the operation, especially in the first day after the operation. A few people will feel severe pain, but most patients can tolerate it. If severe pain occurs, consult a doctor about taking painkillers.

If inflammation occurs after surgery, go to the hospital for treatment in time, get an anti-inflammatory injection or take anti-inflammatory drugs, clean the wound, re-bandage it, pay attention to your diet, and do not wear high heels. The main reason for scars after surgery is that the doctor does not sew properly or the wound is not treated properly, resulting in obvious scars. Patients can go to a professional scar repair hospital for scar repair.
