Toe eversion

Introduction Congenital toe valgus is a common posture foot deformity characterized by full back extension and valgus. More women than men, the ratio is about 1:0.6. This disease is more common in the first baby, which may be related to the uterus of the primipara, the tension is high, and the abdominal muscles are also tight. The above situation is likely to cause the fetus to be mechanically compressed in the third trimester of pregnancy, thereby causing abnormal posture of the foot. After the child is born, the foot extension and valgus deformity can be found. In severe cases, the back of the foot can be in contact with the skin in front of the tibia.

Cause

The cause of the valgus of the toe:

This disease is more common in the first baby, which may be related to the uterus of the primipara, the tension is high, and the abdominal muscles are also tight. The above situation is likely to cause the fetus to be mechanically compressed in the third trimester of pregnancy, thereby causing abnormal posture of the foot.

Examination of the diagnosis of the toe valgus:

After the child is born, the foot extension and valgus deformity can be found. In severe cases, the back of the foot can be in contact with the skin in front of the tibia. At the same time, due to the increased tension of the dorsal and lateral soft tissues, the plantar flexion and varus activity are limited.

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of confusion of the toe valgus:

The disease is easy to diagnose, but sometimes it needs to be differentiated from paralytic toe valgus and congenital vertical talus caused by incomplete neural tube closure.

(1) Paralytic valgus valgus has a weakened triceps, posterior tibial muscle or toe flexor muscle. X-ray examination can be found in the laminar vertebral plate below 3,4.

(2) Congenital vertical talus is a convex valgus foot caused by dislocation of the scaphoid joint. Due to the displacement of the talus head to the ankle, the bony bulge can be reached at the sole of the foot. The X-ray lateral slice can be found perpendicular to the talus, and the central axis of the talus is located on the posterior and temporal sides of the tibia.

After the child is born, the foot extension and valgus deformity can be found. In severe cases, the back of the foot can be in contact with the skin in front of the tibia. At the same time, due to the increased tension of the dorsal and lateral soft tissues, the plantar flexion and varus activity are limited.
