What Is Bunion Surgery?
Bunion surgery or bunionectomy is an effective treatment for forefoot deformity. The treatment area involves the joint at the base of your big toe and surrounding ligaments. This procedure reduces pain and discomfort during your walking cycle or other daily activities, no matter the cause. The most appropriate type of surgery will depend on a wide array of factors, such as how much the position of the bones in the foot has changed.

Untreated bunions can lead to other foot problems that have an impact on your mobility, including:

Arthritis
Bursitis
Toe pain
Foot pain
Ball of foot pain

Am I the Right Candidate?

Not everyone who has a bunion needs removal surgery. This type of surgery isn’t usually recommended if you’re not experiencing pain. And it’s not typically done solely for cosmetic reasons, even though the results may leave you with more attractive feet. Cosmetic foot surgery, in general, isn’t something to undertake lightly.

The decision regarding the surgical options and whether surgery is considered at all depends on:

The severity of your symptoms
How bad is the misalignment is
Whether your bunion is related to osteoarthritis
Whether you have underlying health conditions such as vascular disease, diabetes, rheumatic disease, or nerve disorders

Your podiatrists in New Jersey try to make accommodations to reduce your discomfort. To do so, he considers how active you are and the condition of the rest of your connective tissue and bones. Your age and overall health also play a role in the decision to go ahead with the minimally invasive bunion surgery. If hammertoes or claw toes have already developed, Dr. Petkov will correct these deformities during bunion removal surgery.

What Can Be the Consequences of Not Getting Foot Bunion Surgery?

The goal of bunion surgery in NJ is to correct as much deformity as possible and to relieve pain so that you can return to your normal level of activity. If you have severe hallux valgus that haven’t been treated, they can lead to ongoing issues, including damage to your other toes.

Pressure from your big toe may lead to the development of persistent corns or cause your toes to bend so that you end up with hammertoes. Shifting your weight away from the bunion leads to calluses or pain in the ball of your foot. You may decide to avoid exercising altogether because of the pain your bunion causes, but if you develop a sedentary lifestyle, you become at risk for other serious health issues.
