Explore Comprehensive Podiatry Services with Mishe's Expert Providers.| A bunionectomy is a surgical procedure designed to treat bunions. It involves the removal of the bony bump (bunion) and the realignment of the bones in the big toe and foot. The specific surgical techniques used in a bunionectomy may vary depending on the severity of the bunion and the surgeon's preference. The goals of a bunionectomy are to alleviate pain, improve foot function, and correct the deformity. The surgery may include removing excess bone, adjusting soft tissues, and using fixation devices like screws or pins to stabilize the realigned bones. Recovery from a bunionectomy can involve a period of non-weight-bearing, followed by physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
