bunion repair

A bunion repair, also known as bunionectomy, is a surgical procedure to correct a bunion, which is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. The surgery involves realigning the bones in the affected area and may involve removing the bunion, repositioning the bones, and/or securing the bones with screws or other devices. Recovery time can vary depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient, but it typically involves wearing a special shoe or boot for several weeks and physical therapy to help regain range of motion in the affected foot.
