Explore Comprehensive Podiatry Services with Mishe's Expert Providers.| A bunionectomy with distal metatarsal osteotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a bunion deformity by realigning the metatarsal bone of the foot. This procedure is typically performed for moderate to severe bunions, where the bony prominence at the base of the big toe joint causes pain, inflammation, and difficulty with shoe wear. During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision near the bunion and carefully cuts the metatarsal bone, usually near the end closest to the toes. The bone is then realigned to correct any angular deformity and reduce the prominence of the bunion. Depending on the specific technique used, the bone may be 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 distal 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.
