The rotation of the metatarsal bone is corrected by bunion surgery. There are a variety of ways a bunion can appear, as well as varying levels of severity and surgeries that may be required.
The majority of the pain comes from the hump on the side of the great toe joint and minimal bone movement in some bunions on feet. The hump is shaved and the soft tissue around the great toe joint is released in this example. Most bunions, on the other hand, necessitate a more complex operation.
The metatarsal bone must be realigned with a surgical fracture termed an osteotomy in the next stage of bunions. This fracture is made at the bone’s head, secured with a surgical pin or screw, and is usually stable.
Severe bunion abnormalities necessitate extensive surgery at the base of the metatarsal bone. As a result, you must have your bunion examined as soon as possible. As a bunion advances, we lose the ability to choose which procedure is best for you.
Houston bunion surgeon Dr. Shobowale can diagnose the severity of your bunion and explain your treatment options. She will also provide you with a projected schedule to ensure that your bunion does not advance into the “danger zone” of requiring treatment with a lengthy and tough recovery. Make an appointment with DeNiel Foot & Ankle Center to have your bunion checked.
