Improved alignment and reduced pain after bunion correction
Improved alignment and reduced pain in the affected foot.
Bunion correction is a surgical procedure used to treat bunions, a common foot condition characterized by the misalignment of the big toe joint. The procedure involves removing the bony bump and realigning the bones, tendons, and ligaments in the affected foot. The surgeon may use screws, plates, or wires to hold the bones in place while they heal. Bunion correction aims to restore the natural alignment of the foot, reduce pain and discomfort, and improve mobility. The procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and medical condition. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Bunion correction is a safe and effective way to treat bunions and improve foot function and comfort.
