On January 9, 2026, Tianjin Perennial Hospital took another key step on the road of integrating high-quality medical resources and promoting specialized technology innovation - Zhang Jianzhong Foot and Ankle Medicine Marvin Foot Valgus Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Center was officially inaugurated. The center is led by Professor Zhang Jianzhong, an authority on foot and ankle in China, and has in-depth cooperation with the specialist technology brand Marven Podiatrics, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of hallux valgus disease, and building a new diagnosis and treatment model with exclusive patented minimally invasive technology and a complete device system as the core, aiming to provide patients with precise solutions that take into account functional improvement and morphological aesthetics.

On the occasion of the establishment of the center, Perennial Group, Professor Zhang Jianzhong and Dean Ma Guiwen respectively expressed their expectations and prospects for this cooperation.

Ms. Meilan Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Perennial Group Healthcare, said, "Perennial Healthcare has always been committed to building a high-quality, specialized medical service platform. This alliance with Professor Zhang Jianzhong and Mawen Podiatric is an important step in our strategy of 'technology-driven, specialty cultivation'. We hope to provide patients with more accurate, minimally invasive and more humanized foot and ankle diagnosis and treatment services by integrating authoritative experts and characteristic technologies, and also contribute to the coordinated development of medical resources in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and even the whole country. ”

Professor Zhang Jianzhong, a leading expert in foot and ankle surgery and chief expert of the center, pointed out: "Although hallux valgus is common, the diagnosis and treatment need to take into account both function and form, and the technical requirements are extremely high. Marven Podiatrics' years of accumulation in minimally invasive instruments and surgical systems have provided us with important technical support. The establishment of this center is not only the integration of technology, but also the upgrade of the diagnosis and treatment concept. We will jointly promote the development of foot and ankle specialties in a more refined and systematic direction, so that more patients can benefit from advanced orthodontic solutions. ”

President Ma Guiwen, founder and chief expert of Marven Foot Doctor Group, emphasized: "Since its establishment, Marven Foot has always adhered to the concept of 'paying equal attention to minimally invasive and aesthetics', and is committed to allowing patients to restore their natural foot shape while relieving pain. This collaboration with Professor Zhang Jianzhong and Perennial Hospital is a key opportunity for our technology system to move towards a broader platform. We will fully support the clinical and scientific research work of the center and jointly create a benchmark for hallux valgus diagnosis and treatment. ”

The inclusion of Maven Podiatry has injected unique advantages into the center. Its technical system integrates functional and aesthetic concepts on the basis of traditional orthopedics, pioneering a new paradigm for the diagnosis and treatment of foot diseases. Founder Dean Ma Guiwen introduced 'minimally invasive' techniques and a systematic approach to foot aesthetics into the field of foot disorders, advocating for finely-tuned surgeries that not only resolve pain but also enhance the appearance of the feet. Since its establishment in 1995, Maven Podiatry has focused on the research and application of small-incision surgical instruments, obtaining 49 national patents and forming a unique instrument and technical system, providing strong technical support for hallux valgus correction.

Relying on Maven Podiatry's technology, the center emphasizes minimally invasive procedures and postoperative stability as its core competitiveness. In terms of minimally invasive technology, innovative procedures such as the 'patented fifth-generation slot method for hallux valgus correction' are used. With the assistance of patented instruments through tiny incisions, visualized operations are performed for precise deformity correction, completed under local anesthesia, significantly reducing trauma. Regarding fixation techniques, the center has developed an original slot-type osteotomy combined with biological internal fixation to provide a stable environment for bone healing. To address postoperative recurrence, the center has established a systematic anti-recurrence framework encompassing preoperative classification, meticulous intraoperative techniques, and multiple fixation methods, aiming to improve the long-term stability of treatments.

Leveraging the platform of Pengruili Hospital, the center provides integrated diagnostic and treatment services. The scope of care centers on hallux valgus, extending to toe deformities, aesthetic foot deficiencies, nail disorders, foot skin conditions, foot and ankle posture imbalance, foot pain syndromes, foot wounds, and medical foot nail care, achieving comprehensive coverage of foot and ankle specialty cases. In terms of service model, the center offers full-cycle management from personalized surgical planning, postoperative rehabilitation guidance, to customized aids, meeting the diverse needs of patients. Additionally, the hospital's location next to Tianjin South Railway Station facilitates access for patients from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and across the country, offering convenient options for nearby consultations.

The establishment of the Zhang Jianzhong Foot & Ankle Medicine Maven Podiatry Hallux Valgus Clinical Treatment Center marks a deep integration of clinical expertise and specialized technology in the field of foot and ankle disease care. By introducing Maven Podiatry's technical system, the center provides patients with a minimally invasive treatment option that combines functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement, further enriching the diagnostic and treatment pathways for foot and ankle specialties in the region and offering patients a more efficient and precise medical experience.
