FAQs
-
A bunion (hallux valgus) occurs when the big toe drifts towards the second toe. Over time, the normal position of the bone, tendons, and ligaments changes, resulting in the bunion deformity. Often, this deformity gradually worsens over time and may make it painful to wear shoes or walk.
-
Most insurances will cover bunion correction. We can provide you will the codes that will be billed to your insurance so you can check with them before the surgery.
-
If your surgeon determines that you are a candidate for minimally invasive bunion surgery, you will be able to start walking on your foot in a hard soled post operative shoe approximately 2 weeks after surgery.
If you are not a candidate for minimally invasive surgery and require either a modified Lapidus procedure or a first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) fusion, you will be able to being weight bearing at approximately 6 weeks after surgery.
You should obtain crutches or a walker to use after surgery. We can give you a prescription for these or they will give them to you at the hospital. A knee scooter is also very helpful for longer distances. You do not need a prescription for this and most insurance does not cover these. In your surgery folder, there will be information on where to obtain these.

Most often before people consider surgery for their bunion, they have tried conservative treatments. These options include wide toe box shoes, orthotics, toe spaces, cushions and bunions splints. These can often reduce the pain associated with the bunion but will not correct the deformity.
