A few patients new to our office came in to discuss their bunion deformities and treatment options. They were worried about having their bunions removed after hearing about traditional bunion surgery and difficult recovery experiences.
What they had learned was:
THE TRADITIONAL BUNION SURGERY EXPERIENCE
1. Bunion surgery should be a last resort treatment
2. Bunion surgery is very painful
3. Cast and crutches are needed
4. Must be off work for up to 8 weeks
5. Performed in a hospital
6. Performed under general anesthesia
7. Long ugly scar
That is bunion surgery DONE THEIR WAY.
BUNION SURGERY DONE THE FOOT FIRST WAY IS DIFFERENT
A typical bunion surgery done in our office does not require casting or crutches. Our incisions are strategically placed along the side of the foot to help minimize visible scarring and preserve a clean, natural looking result.
Depending on what type of work you do, our approach is designed to provide a more manageable recovery while getting you back on your feet as quickly and safely as possible.
Precision-engineered bone cuts and rigid compression fixation provide exceptional stability for immediate weight-bearing while maintaining your foot's natural alignment. | Foot First Podiatry
