Hallux Varus Treatment in Karachi

Is Your Big Toe Turning Away From the Other Toes?

Hallux varus is a deformity in which the big toe points away from the second toe, creating an unusual gap between the big toe and the other toes.

It can cause foot pain, difficulty wearing shoes, pressure on the side of the foot and problems while walking.

Dr. Vikash Singh, Orthopaedic Surgeon in Karachi, evaluates and treats hallux varus and other foot and toe deformities.

What Causes Hallux Varus?

Hallux varus can develop because of:

Hallux Varus Treatment

Treatment depends on the severity and cause of the deformity.

Mild deformity – Shoe modification, toe spacers or other supportive measures may help selected patients.

The surgical procedure depends on the underlying cause and may involve soft-tissue balancing, tendon procedures or correction of the bone and joint alignment.
