Since females are known to dominate bunion condition over males by the ration of 9:1 and if high heels are not at fault then what is responsible for the gender-related propensity?
To
understand the reason, it is necessary to recognize that the bunion condition
is caused by over-flexibility of ligaments. What makes female more flexible and
even to the point of dislocating their pubic symphysis during pregnancies are
female hormones, not high heels.
? A Question to Ponder
Q: If
high heels play only a small role in bunion debacles, can they still be worn
after surgery with impunity?
A: Unfortunately, the answer may not be quite so simple.
According to websites of American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the British Orthopaedic Association, both advise that patients will have some shoe and activity restrictions after current surgical techniques.
However, not all bunion surgeries are created equal and it is self-explanation by simple x-ray illustration below to compare traditional ‘bone-breaking’ procedures (>95% of all bunion surgeries done around the world) and the minimal-traumatic ‘non-bone-breaking’ syndesmosis procedure which carries no activity or shoe restrictions after surgery.
