If the child’s shoes are not selected properly, be careful of causing foot valgus!

Foot valgus is mostly children or children, which is one of the deformities of the foot. If the baby’s foot valgus is not corrected, it will be difficult for the baby to correct it when he grows up. So, what to do with the baby’s foot valgus?

Babies with foot valgus can be corrected by a massage by wearing valgus orthopedic shoes, or they can be corrected by surgical treatment. However, the first method is generally used, because the baby’s bones have not been developed and shaped, and there is still a lot of room for correction. However, the correction time of the first method is relatively long.

Mom and dad should correct the baby’s foot valgus as soon as possible because as the age increases, the weight increases, and the weight increases, the degree of valgus will also increase. In the early stage, wear corrective shoes with valgus orthopedic insoles for the baby to fix the baby’s feet in the normal position, so that the collapsed arch support can be cushioned to achieve the purpose of correction.

For those with mild valgus, a foot massage can be performed. But for the more serious cases, massage does not play a big role, and you need to wear corrective shoes for correction. Babies who are about one-year-old wear orthopedic shoes for better correction effects, and can be used in conjunction with massage.

Massage the baby with the valgus foot, and correct it by manipulative correction to make the baby’s foot droop and valgus, about a hundred times a day. It won’t work immediately. With age, it will slowly return to normal. You can also put a pack of cotton pads on the outside of the ankle joint, which is also one of the methods.

The premise of the above correction method is that the baby’s foot is valgus, so how to determine the baby’s foot valgus?

By observing the X-ray film, observing the angle between the talus and the longitudinal axis of the first metatarsal, and the angle between the metatarsal surface of the calcaneus and the longitudinal axis of the talus, we can determine whether there is foot valgus. If the angle of the former is greater than 15 degrees and the angle of the latter is less than 30 degrees, it may be valgus. In addition, when standing and walking, people with valgus feet bear weight on the outer edge of the plantar. For more severe foot valgus, the outer edge of the dorsum of the foot is also weight-bearing, which leads to bursitis and corpus calluses. Those with unilateral deformity walk limp, while those with bilateral deformity will wobble when walking.

To sum up, mom and dad should correct the baby’s foot valgus as soon as possible. The correction method of foot valgus and how to judge whether the baby has valgus foot are for reference. Massage and wearing orthopedic shoes are both corrective methods, but it takes a time to work, so perseverance is required. To
