Wilson's Adduction is a method of treating big toe deformities in which the big toe is abducted towards the other toes using special devices. This method was developed in the 1950s by American orthopedist Robert Wilson.
Wilson diversion is a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. During surgery, a special brace is placed on the big toe to hold the toe in an abducted position and allow it to heal.
After surgery, the patient must wear special shoes that limit the movement of the big toe. This is necessary so that the finger can heal and not return to its original position.
The Wilson abduction procedure is usually performed in combination with other treatments, such as physical therapy and orthotics. It can be effective in treating a variety of thumb deformities, including hammertoe, claw, and other types of thumb deformities.
However, like any surgical procedure, Wilson diversion may have some risks and complications. These include infections, bleeding, healing problems, and others. Therefore, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to carefully evaluate all possible risks and benefits.
