S/P Bunion Correction
Definition:
Correction of a bunion will involves cutting the bones and realigning the deviated first toe. The most important goal of any bunion surgery is to reduce the chronic toe joint dislocation and restore to a more normal anatomy. Many patients are concerned about removing the bunion prominence. This happens naturally when the deformity is corrected.
