Abstract:
Hallux valgus cannot be cured by conservative means. Merely the symptoms it causes can be ameliorated through the use of insole supports, toe spreaders or hallux valgus night splints. Most patients therefore early express a desire for surgical correction. Currently, more than 130 surgical techniques for the correction of splay foot with hallux valgus are known. Recurrences can be minimized by the rigorous use of insoles with retrocapital pads, and the avoidance of high-heeled and/or narrow fitting shoes.
