Bunions
A bunion, is a bony prominence at the base of the big toe, resulting from misalignment and causing pain from shoe pressure or toe rubbing. Initially, conservative treatments like wide shoes, bunion pads, toe spacers, and NSAIDs can provide relief, but they do not correct the underlying deformity. Surgery is considered when pain significantly impacts daily life and footwear choices.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery Advantages:
- Reduced post-operative pain and need for pain medication.
- Improved range of motion.
- Faster return to normal footwear and activities.
- Most patients will be able to leave the surgery center in a post-operative sandal without the need for crutches
