Bunion Surgery

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 removal doctors, to explore your surgical and non-surgical treatment options.

Purpose of Bunion Correction Surgery
Bunion surgery is only performed when conservative, non-surgical solutions don’t alleviate your pain. Some of these conventional solutions include:

• Switching to properly fitting and wider shoes 
• Placing padding on your toe 
• Taking anti-inflammatory medicine 
• Wearing orthotics

Bunions can cause your big toe to move towards the second toe, which over time can create a painful deformity. This can make it very hard for you to find comfortably fitting shoes. Your bunion doctor can explain the cause of your bunion and recommend the best bunion treatment.

By the time you visit a bunion surgeon, you may have exhausted conservative measures and are already considering minimally invasive bunion removal surgery.

Symptoms that may indicate the need for minimally invasive bunion surgery include:

• Intense pain 
• A decrease in toe mobility 
• Severe deformity of your foot 
• An inability to fit your foot into your shoe 
• A “crackling” sound in your toe as it moves

You need to provide your complete medical history to your bunion surgeon, as well as if the deformity runs in the family. X-rays are typically part of your bunion work up allowing the bunion removal podiatrist to measure the extent of deformity as well as the correction needed for optimal surgical success. Your bunion surgeon will choose a procedure that corrects your deformity with minimal scarring and recovery time.
