This study introduces an affordable and simple postoperative dressing technique for hallux valgus surgery. The method uses a tongue depressor to support the big toe, reducing recurrence and complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Podiatric medicine

Background:

  • Hallux valgus is a prevalent foot deformity with complex causes.
  • Deformity recurrence after surgical correction is a concern.
  • Postoperative care influences recurrence rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel postoperative surgical dressing technique for hallux valgus.
  • To provide semirigid support during the immediate postoperative period.

Main Methods:

  • A wooden tongue depressor is applied along the medial hallux border for support.
  • The dressing encourages neutral alignment of the hallux.
  • Dressings are changed at 2 and 6 weeks post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • The technique offers adequate support for hallux valgus correction.
