What Is A Horseshoe?
Horseshoe varus is usually a foot problem discovered after birth. “<"Horseshoe varus foot" refers to a unique human foot deformity variant, and the most common one may be the so-called "horseshoe valgus foot". Because of this deformity, the feet are directly downward and inward. A horse's hoof affects only one or both feet. It occurs in about one thousandth of births, which is a relatively common birth problem. Medical and caregivers usually have a list of items that they look for or consider carefully at birth. Horseshoe is just one of them. Horseshoe varus can be an isolated disease of one or both feet, or it can be part of a genetic disease or syndrome, which is related to many other problems. In addition, the foot can be flexible or rigid according to its mobility.
The main causes of horseshoes have not been fully identified. This is a genetic factor. Because it may be part of the genetic syndrome. The most common horseshoe foot may look like the position of an early growing foot, and therefore may hinder the normal growth of correct foot posture. It may be a genetic problem, an environmental problem, or a foot force caused by the position of the uterus. Because genetic and environmental problems are really common problems, people have carried out a lot of work to isolate them, so if it is feasible at a certain point in time, these measures should be for prevention.
It is easy to understand that when a baby is born, when there are horseshoes, the first thing to pay attention to is the anxiety of the parents. Mothers and fathers should discuss with experts to clearly understand the nature and nature of the problem and the most effective management method. Horseshoe varus is not part of the more common genetic syndrome, but is treated from birth when it is soft. The most common protocol is often referred to as the Ponseti method. Using this method, you can manually move and stretch the foot, then place the foot and leg in the most accurate pose, and place the foot and leg in a cast to maintain position. That is, repeat it regularly once a week to keep your feet in position. Generally speaking, it will take several months on average, and individual differences will be large. From then on, the clamp may need to be used for a period of time to help with the correction. If the specific structure of the foot is too tight and needs to be released, some people may need surgery. Stiff horseshoe breeds and breeds resistant to this dust-proof method are likely to require surgical repair.
