About this service
A bunionectomy procedure removes the bunion and realigns the toe.
A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony enlargement at the base of the big toe which can cause pain and discomfort. The primary risk factors for developing bunions include having a family history of the condition and being female, with women being nine times more likely to develop bunions than men. Wearing tight-fitting, confining shoes does not cause bunions, but can exacerbate existing bunion symptoms leading to increased pain and discomfort.
There are a number of non-surgical treatments for bunions including medication, orthotics or wearing comfortable footwear.
If non-surgical treatments are unsuccessful the surgeon may recommend a bunion surgery.
