Hallux Valgus and how to deal with it description

The causes of the disease are the curvature of the axis of the foot and a change in the biomechanics of the first metatarsal joint. In this case, the angle between the first and second fingers increases, which leads to a violation of the ligamentous apparatus.

This deformation may occur as a result of:

- manifestations of the hereditary factor;
- disorders in the endocrine system;
- weakening of the ligaments;
- age-related changes in bone tissue, the development of osteoporosis;
- flat feet and omissions of the transverse and longitudinal arches of the foot;
- increased mobility of the metatarsal joints;
- degenerative processes in bone tissue with menopause;
- overweight, due to which strong pressure is exerted on the legs;
- varicose veins on the legs.
