Introduction

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your go-to destination for all your podiatry needs. Our dedicated team of skilled podiatrists specializes in providing high-quality foot care treatments to help you find relief from various foot conditions. In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the condition known as primus varus and how our expert podiatrists can assist in treating this condition effectively.

Understanding Primus Varus

Primus varus is a Latin term used to describe a specific foot condition characterized by medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone (the bone connecting the base of the big toe to the midfoot) in relation to the forefoot. This deviation causes the big toe to point inward, creating an imbalance and misalignment of the foot. Primus varus can lead to a variety of symptoms, including pain, instability, and abnormal gait patterns.

Treating Primus Varus

At The Foot Practice, we understand the impact of primus varus on your daily life. Our experienced podiatrists utilize a multidisciplinary approach to develop customized treatment plans based on your individual needs. Through a combination of non-surgical interventions and, if necessary, surgical procedures, we aim to alleviate your symptoms and improve the overall function and alignment of your foot.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

Non-surgical treatments are often the first line of defense against primus varus. Our podiatrists may recommend the following interventions:

• Orthotic Devices: Custom-made orthotics can be prescribed to provide support, correct alignment, and reduce pain and discomfort associated with primus varus.
• Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and stretching techniques can help strengthen the foot muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall foot function.
• Footwear Modifications: Our podiatrists may suggest appropriate footwear modifications, such as wearing orthopedic shoes or specific shoe inserts, to promote optimal foot alignment and reduce symptoms.

2. Surgical Procedures

If non-surgical treatments do not provide the desired results or if the severity of your primus varus requires surgical intervention, our skilled podiatrists may recommend the following procedures:

• Osteotomy: This surgical procedure involves cutting and repositioning the metatarsal bone to correct the alignment of the foot.
• Soft Tissue Correction: In cases where soft tissues (ligaments, tendons) are involved, our podiatrists may perform surgical procedures to repair and reconstruct them to achieve proper foot alignment.
