What Are The Types Of Foot Surgery For Bunions?

Foot surgery for bunions also called a bunionectomy, is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct a bunion, which is a bony protrusion that develops on the side of the big toe joint. There are several types of foot surgery for bunions, including:

1. Bunionectomy: It involves removing the bony protrusion and realigning the bone.
2. Osteotomy: This type of surgery involves cutting and repositioning the bone to correct the bunion.
3. Arthrodesis: This is a surgical procedure that involves fusing the bones in the joint to correct the bunion.
4. Exostectomy: This is a procedure to remove the bony bump and smooth out the joint surface.
5. Minimally Invasive Bunion surgery: This is a newer procedure that uses small incisions and specialized instruments to correct the bunion.

It's important to note that the best treatment option will depend on the patient's individual condition.
