What Is Bunion Surgery?
Bunion surgery or bunionectomy is an effective treatment for forefoot deformity. The treatment area involves the joint at the base of your big toe and surrounding ligaments. This procedure reduces pain and discomfort during your walking cycle or other daily activities, no matter the cause. The most appropriate type of surgery will depend on a wide array of factors, such as how much the position of the bones in the foot has changed.
Untreated bunions can lead to other foot problems that have an impact on your mobility, including:
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Toe pain
- Foot pain
- Ball of foot pain
Dr. Velimir Petkov at Premier Podiatry in Passaic County, NJ, evaluates how far your bunion has progressed. Then he recommends the best course of treatment for your case. When your bunion is small, conservative treatments such as orthotics, extra padding for your shoes, physical therapy, or changes in footwear may give you relief or deliver improvement. If these methods don't bring relief or your pain is debilitating, surgery is the only way to get rid of bunions.
What Does Bunion Removal Surgery Entail?
Most types of bunion surgeries involve correcting the ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules to improve the position of the big toe. Once that is done, your first metatarsal bone and the bone at the base of the big toe are cut and repositioned to straighten your toe again. If the condition is severe, you might need more complex surgery that involves the joint at the base of the first metatarsal bone.
Your surgery can take around 30 to 100 minutes. Once the procedure is complete, you will have to stay in the clinic for a few days. But if your condition is not too serious, surgery can be performed as a day procedure, meaning there is no point in staying overnight in the clinic.
