How is Bunion Surgery Performed?
How to Prepare for Bunion Surgery?
- An incision is made on the toe joint and bones.
- The deformed bones and joint are then repaired using screws, pins, and plates to fix the bones in place.
- The following repairs may be performed during a bunion surgery:
- Shortening or elongating certain ligaments and tendons
- Arthrodesis, which is the removal of the damaged portion of the joint and holding the joint together using screws, wires and plates.
- Exostectomy or bunionectomy, which is the removal of the bulging bone of the foot know as the metatarsal head.
- Realignment of ligaments around the joint of the big toe
- Metatarsal osteotomy, which is the removal of the small bone wedge from the foot
- Phalangeal osteotomy, which is the removal of the small bone wedge from the toe
- Resection arthroplasty that involves reshaping of the big toe and metatarsal bones at the metatarsophalangeal joint
- Lapidus procedure, which is the fusion of the metatarsal bone and mid-foot joint
- Insertion of implants on joints
