The initial and middle stages of valgus deformity of the big toe can be successfully corrected without radical surgical intervention using a special accessory - a bandage splint. The device effectively aligns the twisted joint and returns it to the correct anatomical position. This happens gradually and is usually painless.
Before resorting to radical measures to eliminate painful bones on the legs, every reputable orthopedist recommends the use of therapeutic and prophylactic accessories - special bandages.
Indications for use
A valgus orthosis is indispensable in the treatment of deformities of the big toe joints caused by various factors: wearing uncomfortable shoes or high heels, heredity, playing certain sports (rhythmic gymnastics), etc.
Due to constant pressure and improperly distributed load on the foot, chronic inflammatory processes such as bursitis and arthrosis develop, which, in turn, become the impetus for deformity of the joints of the fingers of the lower extremities.
Tire-bandage is used:
• with gout - non-fixed hallux valgus, to relieve inflammation and pain during an exacerbation;
• to slow the progression of hallux valgus;
• for correction of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint;
• in the postoperative period as a fixing and rehabilitation accessory;
• in the complex therapy of hallux valgus.
This type of corrective splint is indicated for wearing at night.
Functionality
The corrector splint is an orthopedic device consisting of a shock-absorbing pad and a special strap that secures the pad to the foot.
The pad is fixed on the problem area, the pressure belt immobilizes the joint and pulls the first metatarsal bone into the correct position. During rest, the deformity is leveled, as well as a decrease in pain and inflammation.
The orthosis has a shape that allows you to deflect the big toe in the opposite direction and thus stop further violation of the position of the joint, and then correct the defect.
