A bunionectomy with sesamoidectomy and metatarsal osteotomy is a surgical procedure designed to correct a bunion deformity along with addressing associated structural abnormalities in the foot. This comprehensive procedure involves several steps to realign the bones of the foot and alleviate pain and discomfort caused by the bunion. Firstly, the surgeon performs a bunionectomy to remove the bony prominence at the base of the big toe joint. Secondly, sesamoidectomy involves the removal of one or both sesamoid bones located beneath the big toe joint, which may be enlarged or dislocated due to the bunion deformity. Lastly, a metatarsal osteotomy is performed to realign the metatarsal bone connecting to the big toe, correcting any angular deformity and reducing the prominence of the bunion. The bones are stabilized in their new positions using screws, plates, or other fixation devices to ensure proper alignment and stability. This combined approach aims to address the underlying structural abnormalities contributing to the bunion deformity, improve foot function, and prevent further progression or recurrence of the condition. 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.
