Bunionectomy with Metatarsal Osteotomy

Bunionectomy with Metatarsal Osteotomy is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A bunionectomy with metatarsal osteotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a bunion deformity by realigning the bones of the foot, specifically the metatarsal bone that connects to the big toe. This procedure is commonly performed for moderate to severe bunions, where the bony prominence at the base of the big toe joint is pronounced and causes pain, inflammation, and difficulty with shoe wear. During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision near the bunion and carefully removes a wedge-shaped section of bone from the metatarsal, effectively straightening the bone and reducing the prominence of the bunion. The bone is then stabilized in its new position using screws, plates, or other fixation devices to ensure proper alignment and stability. By correcting the alignment of the metatarsal bone, a bunionectomy with metatarsal osteotomy aims to alleviate pain, improve foot function, and prevent further progression or recurrence of the bunion deformity. Post-operative care typically involves wearing a surgical boot or cast for several weeks to protect the foot and promote healing, followed by physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and function.
