Patient consultation: Male, Chongqing, 20 years old. I had mild bunion valgus when I was very young, except that my big toe turned outwards, and I had no other symptoms. Some time ago, because of the pain in the big toe of my right foot, I went to the hospital for an orthopedic examination and said it was metatarsophalangeal arthritis. Is this symptom serious? Is it okay to leave bunions untreated? Will bunions become more and more serious?
Experts from Chongqing Friendship Orthopedic Hospital reminded that bunions are a common foot deformity, medically known as Bunion valgus is characterized by unsightly foot shape, deformation when wearing shoes, bunions, pain, and is often complicated by other toe deformities such as foot pads, corns, claw toes, etc. The severity is mainly as follows
In the reversible stage of hallux valgus, the degree of valgus of the big toe is about 10%, which affects the appearance and does not cause pain. There is a slight callus on the sole of the foot, which does not directly affect walking. Wearing high heels will cause pain.
In the stage of hallux valgus contracture, the big toe is valgus, the joints and ligaments are inflamed, the second toe is obviously squeezed, the sole of the foot is obviously widened, the sole of the foot is obvious, and long-term walking can easily cause the big toe joint Pain and pain in the soles of the feet.
In the severe stage of bunion, the big toe is valgus, the toes overlap, the transverse arch collapses, the corns are flat, the foot pads are flat, and the heel is painful and it is difficult to balance the feet due to force, which seriously affects standing and walking.
In the stage of big toe deformity, the big toe is more than valgus, the toes have finished their mission, the big toes are severely overlapped, the toes are not stressed, the arch of the foot collapses, and it is difficult to walk, the sole of the foot directly bears the pressure of the toes, and there are calluses on the sole of the foot. , there is a serious mis-loading of the feet, and it is difficult for the joints to operate in a coordinated manner, resulting in a change in the body's vertical load line, causing knee joint inflammation, back pain, etc.
Based on the above description, it can be determined that the patient has mild hallux valgus symptoms and is in the reversible stage of hallux valgus.
Is it okay to leave bunions untreated?
Bunions will lead to a series of pathological changes in the foot. Hallux valgus will cause the metatarsal bones to turn inward and the front of the foot to widen. The negative advantage of the foot changes and the foot often feels tired. Due to the varus of the metatarsal bones, the metatarsal heads are often stimulated by friction, extrusion, etc., forming osteophytes and pseudobursae on the surface. The skin thickens and forms the corpus callosum. Bursitis may occur due to constant friction, and skin ulcers and infections may occur. At this time, the pain is severe and affects walking. As the hallux valgus deformity continues to worsen, metatarsophalangeal joint subluxation and osteoarthritis will occur. At this time, articular cartilage is destroyed, bone proliferates, and the joint space narrows, resulting in limited joint function. Even if you don't wear high heels at this time, the hallux valgus deformity has already been finalized. If the clinical effect is not achieved in time, it will not only affect walking, but also cause limited joint function.
