Need for Bunion Surgery

Some common reasons for considering bunion surgery include:

• Persistent Pain: When conservative measures fail to alleviate the pain caused by a bunion.
• Deformity: If the bunion causes a significant deformity, such as a severe angle of the big toe or overlapping toes, impacting daily activities and shoe-wearing.
• Restricted Foot Function: When the bunion restricts the movement and function of the foot, hindering normal activities and causing instability.
• Chronic Inflammation or Bursitis: If the bunion leads to persistent inflammation, bursitis, or recurrent infections that cannot be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments.
• Failed Conservative Treatments: When conservative treatments have been exhausted without satisfactory improvement or the bunion continues to progress.

Long-term impact of Bunion Surgery

• Pain relief and improved comfort
• Better foot function and mobility
• Correction of the bunion deformity
• Aesthetic improvement in foot appearance
• Enhanced quality of life and ability to engage in activities without limitations
• Prevention of further complications
• Individual outcomes may vary based on factors such as severity of the bunion and adherence to post-operative care.
