Are you struggling with persistent foot pain caused by bunions or hammertoes? You're not alone. These common foot deformities affect millions of Americans, often leading to discomfort and difficulty wearing shoes.

Surgical Options for Bunions and Hammertoes: Know Option #1, #2, and #3

Option #1: Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy

The Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy has revolutionized bunion surgery, offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional procedures. However, it is not always right for everyone.

  • Reduced scarring
  • Faster recovery time
  • Preserved natural toe movement
  • Comparable or better correction results than open procedures

Option #2: Joint Resection for Hammertoes

Joint resection is an effective surgical option for patients with rigid hammertoes. During this procedure, the surgeon removes a portion of the affected joint, allowing the toe to straighten.

  • Performed under local anesthesia
  • May involve temporary pin insertion for stability
  • Pins are typically removed after a few weeks

Option #3: Fusion (Arthrodesis)

Fusion, or arthrodesis, is a surgical option often recommended for patients with severe bunions or rigid hammertoes.

  • Provides long-term stability
  • Effective for severe deformities
  • Can address both bunions and hammertoes
