Bunion Surgery


In many people who have bunions (medical term: hallux valgus), they don't cause any problems - or only minor problems. In others, the foot becomes increasingly deformed and hurts, making it hard to walk.

If bunions become a real problem and don't get better, surgery may be considered. The aim of surgery is to

  • Relieve the pain,

  • Improve the stability of the foot,

  • Enable you to walk normally again,

  • Improve the appearance of the foot and

  • Prevent the development of osteoarthritis and hammer toes or claw toes.

Schedule an appointment with Dr. Daniel Drapacz today to discuss your symptoms and get you on the path to recovery.
