HALLUX VALGUS BRACE

Description

Hallux valgus is called hallux or bunion for short. Bunion (Hallux vulgaris) is the deformity based on lateral deviation of the great toe, connected with the joint at the head of the big toe. It occurs in women very often.

During this abduction of the head of the first metatarsal, the big toe is set at the rest toes. In the joint is inflammation and bursitis. It causes joint degeneration, foot deformation and pain.

High heels are unfavourable because set the foot in unnatural position and cause excessive loading on the heads of the metatarsals.
