In our latest intervention, we addressed the case of a 9-year-old girl passionate about Rhythmic Gymnastics. The constant practice of this sport led her to develop a deformation in the first toe (Bunion) known as Hallux Abductus Valgus (HAV).
The personalized solution involved the creation of a customized silicone toe separator. This device not only helped correct the existing deformation but also prevented its progression. Although it may be a bit uncomfortable at first, the girl adapted quickly, achieving a significant improvement in the comfort and functionality of the affected toe.
This case highlights how pediatric podiatry, especially with solutions like custom silicone toe separators, can make a difference in the lives of active children, ensuring they can fully enjoy their activities without compromising the health of their feet.
