Big toe bone protrusion

Our body is made up of many bones. When we perform various activities every day, it is the movement of the bones that drives it. Many women who love beauty often wear high heels in their lives. They feel that wearing high heels will make them look more charming and have a better image. Wearing high heels for a long time can make women look more beautiful but it can also have some effects on their feet, causing the big toe bone to protrude. Causes of big toe bone protrusion

Big toe disease refers to a deformity symptom in which the big toe tilts outward more than 15 degrees from the physiological angle. The main cause is the dislocation of the joint at the base of the big toe, which causes the big toe to bend outward and the big toe bone to protrude outward.

The causes of bunion can be divided into two categories: congenital factors and acquired factors.

1. Congenital factors

It is caused by joints, nerves, muscles, etc.

2. Acquired factors

It is caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes, usually due to wearing heels that are too high, too pointed, or too narrow, which makes it difficult to keep the heels in place, causing squeezing, friction, and pressure on the toes. This not only affects the extension and movement of the toes, causing discomfort and pain, but also destroys the function of the original three footholds. When walking, the weight of the whole body falls on the front of the foot, and the toes will gradually deform due to the pressure of the body weight, which will cause hallux valgus.

Treatment of big toe protrusion

If it is hallux valgus, local fixation and correction can be performed in the early stage. Wear comfortable shoes at ordinary times and avoid tight toes and high heels. Because hallux valgus can cause hallux valgus deformity, it can cause local bursitis in the long run, leading to pain, etc. In addition, bone hyperplasia refers to the increase in trabeculae and bone density at the edges of vertebrae or joints, articular surfaces and bone processes. It is a defensive (or adaptive) reaction of the human body to adapt to changes in adaptability and maintain the balance inside and outside the joints. It is a physiological metabolic change. If a hip fracture is not ruled out, surgery is usually required, including hemihip or total hip replacement. Wrist fractures may require a cast or surgery to reposition the fracture.

Common surgical treatments

Suitable for those with severe pain or deformity.

Procedure: Cut off the adductor hallucis muscle and transplant it to the outside of the first metatarsal neck; remove the lateral metatarsal bone; remove the bursa and osteophytes, overlap and suture the medial joint capsule to tighten it to correct metatarsal varus;

Kellers surgery: Suitable for patients with severe osteoarthritis.

Precautions

Bunions can have a certain impact on our walking and activities, and may even make it difficult to walk due to severe pain. Therefore, when buying shoes, we should choose those that are comfortable and fit, try to wear high heels as little as possible, or relax our feet properly after wearing high heels for a long time. At the same time, we can also relieve the pressure on the feet through massage.
