If you've forgotten or lost items in the hospital, it is best to contact reception as soon as possible. Found items can be picked up for up to one month afterwards.

As with many public places, hospitals are often targets of theft.

So keep in mind the following tips:

• Leave all valuables at home and bring as little money as possible to the hospital.
• Don't leave your purse, wallet or other valuables unattended when you leave the room. Most rooms have a storage locker, of which it is best to make use of.
• Take care of your personal belongings such as glasses, dentures, linen yourself.
• For the maternity ward: on the birth announcement card at your room door, make your address information illegible.
• If you notice anything suspicious, notify a nurse or the reception desk immediately.
• The hospital cannot be held responsible for loss or theft.

For the sake of everyone's safety and privacy, some general rules apply in our hospital.

A common problem is pain at the bottom of the forefoot, under the pads , just in front of the toes. This is called metatarsalgia and can have several causes.

Most often this is a sagging forefoot and you have calluses or pain from inflammation of the joints. Sometimes the pain is caused by entrapment of the nerve between the joints, we call this Morton neurinoma but it is not very common.

Occasionally we see on the radiography that the metatarsal bones are much too long and in this way become overloaded. Usually an arch support is sufficient, but sometimes we have to shorten these bones surgically.

Tailor's Bunion is a lump on the outside of the little toe. It is often painful and red due to friction in the shoe. Usually the patient has a wide foot (spread foot).

The treatment of choice is wide shoes, possibly an orthotic or, if this fails, surgical treatment.

A hallux rigidus is a painful osteoarthritis in the big toe. Wear and tear of the cartilage causes narrowing of the joint (= osteoarthritis). This causes a painful restriction of movement. Bone is sometimes added to the side and top of the joint, creating a painful bunion or lump. In hallux rigidus, this lump is usually at the top.

Some people have  regular inflammation of the joint due to osteoarthritis.

The treatment at first is often conservative, for example: wearing wide shoes, a good firm sole ...

If this does not help sufficiently, surgery may be planned.

A hammertoe/clawtoe is a bent position of the toe, usually of the second or third toe, which eventually creates pressure and friction against the footwear.

With a hammertoe, the deformity occurs in the first toe-joint; with a claw toe, it usually occurs in both toe-joints. This condition can still be flexible or already stiff.

With some foot shapes (hollow feet), this is more common.

Sometimes the second toe is forced into a hammer position by a severe hallux valgus and correction of the second toe is not enough, but the big toe must also be corrected to give the second toe room.

Most patients suffer on the upper side of the toe (friction and calluses), sometimes also on the lower side at the level of the tip of the toe. Sometimes wounds develop, and even infection of the joints is possible.

A supple hammertoe can be corrected with orthotics or an orthotic.

A stiff hammertoe can only be treated surgically.
