Why does hallux valgus have only one side?

First, hallux valgus deformity refers to the lateral displacement of the thumb at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Hallux valgus is a complex anatomical deformity, and it is very challenging in treatment. Hallux valgus is the most common lesion involving the thumb, which is more common in middle-aged and elderly women. It most often occurs in people with genetic tendency and wearing inappropriate shoes for a long time. Inappropriate shoes will exert abnormal pressure on the thumb. That's why women who like to wear high heels may not have good-looking feet.

Second: the situation is relatively light friends can wear open toe shoes or loose shoes to reduce the degree of hallux valgus, and through physical therapy and other adjuvant treatment. The situation is more serious friends should go to the regular hospital for surgical treatment in time, don't delay too long, this will only lead to the increase of the difficulty of the operation.

Third, there are two causes of hallux valgus, congenital and acquired. Congenital is very simple, mainly because of genetic causes, but hereditary hallux valgus mainly in adolescents. Acquired is also divided into internal and external causes. The internal cause is mainly caused by some systemic arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The external cause is that the shoes mentioned above don't fit well. According to statistics, the incidence rate of hallux valgus in people wearing shoes is 15 times higher than that of those who do not wear shoes. So friends must choose their own shoes.
