Bunions are the result of ongoing bone deformities of the foot that frequently cause pain, inflammation, irritation and are often aesthetically displeasing. Bunions can only be removed and relieved with surgical bunion correction. Surgical removal of a bunion is called a “bunionectomy”. A bunion is essentially a foot deformity of the great toe joint where the 1st toe drifts towards the lesser toes. Usually, a prominent “bump” forms on the inside of the foot as a consequence of the joint becoming more prominent. This bump tends to be referred to as a “bunion”.

Bunion removal surgeries fall into two major categories (though we perform all 44 types of bunion surgery and customize each bunionectomy to your unique case):

  1. Head procedures: In a head procedure bunionectomy, the bunion surgeon makes an incision behind the joint and then re-positions the bone into it’s proper position. The doctor then adheres the bone in place with a screw or pin. This bunion surgery is most frequently elected by patients who cannot be immobilized for long periods of time.
  2. Base procedures: With this bunionectomy surgery the surgeon manipulates the bone near (or behind) the big toe joint. There are many variations of this procedure and the actual surgical procedure performed will be unique to your specific condition. The essential difference with this type bunion surgery as compared to the “head procedure” is that the  ligaments inside and outside the toe may also be treated at the same time.
