What is a Bunion?
A bunion (aka hallux valgus) is essentially a bump or protrusion that forms along the side of the big toe joint. Over time, the bump will progressively get larger, and the big toe will lean towards the second toe. This can cause pain in shoes or during activities.
Bunions are easily diagnosable as the bump is visible. To determine the severity of your condition and the best course of action, however, one of our doctors will likely request an x-ray.
Left untreated, bunions will continue to grow, as well as cause other issues – such as hammertoes, corns, arthritis of the toe joint, and calluses.
Who is a Candidate for a Bunionectomy?
Bunion surgery is recommended for those with severe bunions who have tried conservative treatment options first and are still experiencing discomfort that interferes with their daily activities.
At Artisan Foot and Ankle Specialists, we are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of painful bunions, and we can help. Our experienced bunion surgeons can perform the latest surgical techniques, such traditional, minimal incision surgery, and Lapiplasty bunionectomies.
If a bunionectomy is the right option for you, we will conduct a clinical examination and evaluate your x-rays to determine the best procedure based upon your deformity type. This attention to detail tailors the type of bunionectomy to the patient’s needs, as one procedure does not help every single patient. We respect that each patient is different and deserves a customize plan for their procedure.
Not all bunions are the same and not every bunion needs surgery. The start of proper treatment for a bunion is a well-balanced treatment plan weighing risks and benefits of treatments and procedures.
