Hallux Valgus Correction

Hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion, is a painful deformity where the big toe deviates towards the other toes, causing discomfort, swelling, and difficulty in walking. At Jaysek Welcare Polyclinic & Diagnostics, we offer advanced surgical correction options to realign the toe, relieve pain, and restore foot function.

Symptoms of Hallux Valgus (Bunion)

✔ Pain & Tenderness – Especially around the base of the big toe.
✔ Visible Toe Deformity – The big toe leans toward the second toe.
✔ Swelling & Redness – Due to constant friction from footwear.
✔ Difficulty in Walking – Limited movement and discomfort in tight shoes.
✔ Corns & Calluses – Caused by toe misalignment and pressure.

Hallux Valgus Treatment Options

1. Non-Surgical Management (For Mild to Moderate Cases)

✔ Toe Splints & Padding – Helps reduce pressure on the bunion.
✔ Custom Orthotics & Footwear Modifications – Provides proper support and relieves discomfort.
✔ Physiotherapy & Toe Exercises – Strengthening foot muscles to slow progression.

2. Surgical Treatment – Hallux Valgus (Bunion) Correction (For Severe or Persistent Cases)

Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

🔹 Small incisions are made, and specialized instruments are used to realign the bone and soft tissues.
🔹 Less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
🔹 Suitable for mild to moderate bunions.

Open Bunion Surgery (Traditional Approach)

🔹 Used for severe deformities, requiring bone realignment (osteotomy) and ligament balancing.
