The Hashtag valgus is one of the most common sources of forefoot-issues.
Pain, pressure marks and restrictions to functionality form not only locally but into an interplay of complex foot misalignments.
For Prof. Dr. Kiriakos Daniilidis, doctor of orthopedics and trauma surgery at the OTC Orthopädie Traumatologie Centre Regensburg there is a clear principle: Therapy begins conservatively. Shoe insoles, orthoses and physiotherapy always stand at the beginning to correct misalignments and alleviate pain.
If the hallux valgus is still flexible a night positioning splint can be used to correct the big toe towards a zero-degree-position. Exemplary for this is the Hashtag with three-dimensional adjustable joint for individual adjustment of the correction-angle.
