Causes of hallux valgus
The occurrence of hereditary hallux valgus deformity is related to congenital factors, and about half of the cases have genetic factors. At the same time, after hallux valgus, the bowstring-like action of the muscles will inevitably produce the force to push the metatarsal bone inward.
Wearing high-heeled pointed-toed shoes is one of the main factors in the formation of bunion. The front part of the pointed-toed shoes is triangular. When standing with high heels, the front part of the foot is stuffed into a narrow triangular area, which is hard and hard. The shoe upper forces the big toe to evert and slightly externally rotate, the little toe to varus and slightly internally rotate, the proximal interphalangeal joint of the middle toe is strongly flexed, and the metatarsophalangeal joint and distal interphalangeal joint are hyperextended.

By using a unique micro-power drill tool and small incision () technology, the first metatarsophalangeal joint is treated. The hypertrophic osteophytes are removed from the joint capsule, and metatarsal head osteotomy, displacement and fixation are completed in the joint capsule to correct the metatarsal varus deformity of moderate to severe hallux valgus feet.
