Hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion, is a deformity of the big toe joint where the toe deviates outward toward the other toes, causing a painful and often unsightly bump on the side of the foot. If conservative measures do not provide sufficient relief or the bunion is severe, surgery may be necessary. There are various surgical procedures for hallux valgus, including:

1. Bunionectomy
2. Soft Tissue Procedures
3. Arthrodesis (Fusion)
4. Resection Arthroplasty
5. Minimally Invasive Techniques

The choice of surgical procedure depends on the severity of the deformity, the patient’s age and activity level, and the surgeon’s preference. Recovery time and post-operative care also vary depending on the chosen technique. It’s essential to consult with a qualified orthopaedic surgeon or podiatrist for a thorough evaluation and discussion of the most suitable treatment options for your specific condition.
