Bunion Surgery Types
The type of bunion surgery needed varies from case to case. Possible ways to fix a painful bunion are shaving and smoothing the prominent bone, shifting the bone over and holding it in place with screws, using an implant, or fusing a joint with a plate and/or screws.
Recovery for Bunion Surgery
Recovery from bunion surgery varies depending on what procedure was performed. A surgical shoe or a boot might be worn to protect the surgical site. The patient may be weightbearing or non-weightbearing depending on how extensive the procedure.
Bunion Surgery Cost
The cost of bunion surgery can vary depending on the procedure, the insurance plan, amount of deductible met, and where the procedure is performed. A Podiatrist can contact the patient’s insurance provider to determine the cost of the bunion surgery.
Bunion Surgery Before and After
The goal of bunion surgery is to remove or reduce the bony prominence that is causing pain.
