Cosmetic surgery for bunions

The patient is a woman about 45 years. To properly diagnose the case and advise appropriate treatment and whether surgery is necessary, it has been recommended in the first instance, the taking of radiographs in axial loading and a radiograph of the sesamoids to check the movement of the foot bones. After measurements were performed for choosing surgery, based on these.

Surgical therapy for this foot deformity is aimed at pain relief and functional correction of the deformity. For each patient choose the most appropriate technique for your case, since each foot should be treated individually.

We proceeded with open surgery and minimally invasive soft tissue surgery and osteotomies (cuts in bones), apart from not needing more than local anesthesia, which is done to capture the aesthetic and functionality of the limb.

As the procedure is simple, fast and with little pain, the patient can hardly walk out the operation has ended. After this, keep a relative rest, allowing full support for the four weeks in case of osteotomies and partial support in the first 72 hours, remains bandaged to the subsequent withdrawal of the points, padded shoes and prostheses that maintain the correction six weeks.
