What is Bunion Surgery?
Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, involves the removal of the bony bump on the side of the big toe joint and realigning the bones of the foot to correct the deformity. This procedure can vary in complexity, depending on the severity of the bunion.
Benefits of Bunion Surgery
- Relieves pain and discomfort

What to Expect
Bunion surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. The surgery takes about one to two hours, and patients can usually go home the same day. Depending on the procedure, you may need to wear a special shoe or cast during recovery.
Recovery Process
Full recovery from bunion surgery may take up to 6 months, although many patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Physical therapy may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility.
