Hallux valgus detection

Hallux valgus detection is a check of the valgus of the foot for diagnosis before surgery. Hallux valgus detection checks the eversion of the foot and thumb for diagnosis before surgery. Stand with your feet closed and see if your toes are tilted more than 15 degrees toward the second toe. If there is a thumb eversion. Those with severe big thumb toes can be located under the second and third toes, and the second and third toes can be pushed up to form a hammer-shaped toe over time. After the big toe (actually the first metatarsal bone) is moved inward, it makes the place extremely swollen, and it is easy to form friction with the shoes. Over time, the skin and related subcutaneous tissues thicken, swell, and bursa is formed, resulting in the thumb inflammation. Causes pain, which can cause infection after local ulceration. In patients with hallux valgus deformity, because of the abnormality of forefoot biomechanics, many patients have the soles of the feet to cause pain.
