Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m experiencing bunion symptoms?
You might be experiencing bunion symptoms if you notice a bony bump on the side of your big toe, redness, swelling, or pain around the joint, or if your big toe is leaning toward your other toes. These symptoms can make it uncomfortable to wear certain shoes or walk for long periods.
When is it time to consider bunionectomy surgery?
It may be time to consider bunionectomy surgery if non-surgical treatments like wearing comfortable shoes, using orthotics, or taking pain relievers no longer provide relief, and the bunion is causing significant pain, discomfort, or difficulty in daily activities. Surgery is typically considered when the bunion impacts your quality of life or leads to complications like severe deformity or joint damage.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive bunion surgery?
Minimally invasive bunion surgery offers several benefits, including smaller incisions, reduced scarring, less pain, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional surgery. It minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and often allows patients to return to normal activities more quickly. Additionally, there is typically a lower risk of complications such as infection or swelling.
