Feet are among the important limbs that carry the whole body all day and unfortunately, they are not given the necessary attention and care. People sometimes do not pay attention to their foot health, and the moment they have a problem, they start to take care of their feet or consult a doctor. People who use their feet aggressively will regret it later when problems occur. Bunion can usually be caused by genes, but it can also occur later due to external factors. The problem manifests itself in addition to some other foot disorders. Flatfoot, foot arch problems, rheumatic disorders and accidents can manifest themselves with foot traumas. The first observable results of bunion are calcification and stiffness.
Traumas Can Lead to Bunion
When we look at the causes of bunion, although being overweight stands out the most, in fact, the biggest cause of this disease is wearing high heels. This big toe problem, which is already encountered more often in women than in men, is also caused by the use of shoes that squeeze the forefoot and damage the soft tissue. Apart from these reasons, bunion can also occur as a result of traumas such as falling any heavy weight on the foot, hitting the foot, or spraining the foot. In advanced cases, your life can be directly affected by this condition as you cannot even wear shoes or step on your feet. If the patient desires to achieve results without surgery, the first method to be used is to wear orthopedic shoes with silicone soles. In addition, a night splint can also be used. Although non-surgical solutions alleviate the pain, they do not eliminate the problem altogether.
Bunion Surgery
Most people are prejudiced against any kind of surgery and generally seek non-surgical treatments. However, bunion problem cannot be completely eliminated without surgical intervention. The surgical intervention to be applied varies according to the person. The reason for surgery is not to achieve a cosmetic result, but to treat foot functions and to ensure that the same problem does not recur. You should act quickly as soon as the problem is detected. Otherwise, over time, the problem may progress to the point that it causes wounds over the area, calcification, stiffness and even inflammation in the joint. After the surgery, supportive health tools such as plaster and splints will be used. The foot should be kept elevated, and it should be avoided to step on it for 3-4 days.
