What Is Bunion Surgery?
Bunion surgery, also known as bunionectomy, is probably the most effective treatment for forefoot deformity. The main goal of the procedure is to relieve pain and reduce discomfort during your walking cycle or other daily activities.
Before deciding on the most appropriate type of surgery, Our Podiatrists meticulously assesses various factors, such as how far the position of the bones in the foot has changed. Often people have a bunion deformity on both feet, and correcting both deformities at the same time is referred to as a bilateral bunionectomy. We recommend correcting the deformity one foot at a time, but in some instances, bilateral bunion surgery may be indicated. Visit Our Podiatrists, the best-rated
bunion surgery doctors, to explore your surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
All symptoms, potential procedural bunion removal options should always be discussed with your local podiatrist or bunion surgeon after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
What Are My Bunion Surgery Options?
Because bunions range in size and shape, there are various types of surgical procedures (including minimally invasive) used to treat them. In most cases, surgery involves correcting the bone alignment and repairing the soft tissues around the big toe. Once our doctor evaluates your condition, they will determine the best type of bunion surgery for you.
Prior to committing to surgery, our bunion removal surgeons take enough time to meticulously examine the patients and measure the extent of the deformity and correction needed. Only then can they enact the successful outcomes they have always been known for.
What Should I Expect After Surgery?
You will have to keep your foot stable during the first few weeks after the procedure. Bandages and, in some cases, a splint might assist you in that. Our Podiatrists will provide you with detailed information on how to care for your foot at home following the surgical intervention for the first few weeks. Depending on the degree of your treatment, you may be discharged with a special surgical shoe or cast to aid in bunion recovery. Most patients report the postoperative pain as fairly tolerable when combined with medication and a dedicated program to relieve the discomfort.
Even though you can put pressure on your foot after surgery, but you should not be walking long distances. The extent to which you can put pressure on your foot depends on how painful it is and on the type of procedure you had. In general, the recovery time varies between 4-6 weeks. This is enough for your bones to become stable again. You will have follow-up appointments with your local foot doctor every 1-2 weeks during your recovery to check the bone healing via x-rays.
