Bunionectomy (Chevron) - Akin Osteotomy

Bunionectomy (Chevron) - Akin Osteotomy is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A Chevron bunionectomy with Akin osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to correct a bunion deformity at the base of the big toe joint, specifically addressing misalignment of the big toe itself. This combined procedure involves the Chevron bunionectomy technique, which includes making an angled incision near the big toe joint and removing a wedge-shaped piece of bone to realign the joint, along with an Akin osteotomy, which is a small cut made in the bone of the big toe to correct any angular deformity. The surgeon may perform the Chevron bunionectomy first to address the bony prominence at the base of the big toe, followed by the Akin osteotomy to straighten the toe itself. By combining these techniques, the surgeon can effectively correct both the bunion deformity and any associated toe misalignment, resulting in improved foot alignment and function. Following the procedure, patients may require a period of immobilization in a surgical boot or cast, followed by physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and function in the foot.
