Taking Steps to Recovery Bunion Foot Surgery
Timeline

• A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint
  at the base of the big toe. Bunions can cause the
  big toe to point toward the other toes on the
  same foot, leading to pain, swelling, redness,
  and stiffness.

Bunion surgery, also known as bunionectomy, is a
procedure that involves removing the bony bump
and realigning the toe joint. There are several
types of bunion surgery, including osteotomy
(cutting and realigning the bones) and
arthrodesis (fusing the joint). The type of
surgery recommended will depend on the severity
of the bunion and the individual's overall health.

The recovery time after bunion surgery can vary
depending on the extent of the procedure and the
individual's health status. In general, patients
should expect to wear a special shoe or boot for
several weeks after surgery to protect the foot
and keep it in the correct position. Swelling,
bruising, and discomfort are common after surgery
and can last for several weeks. Patients may need
to use crutches or a walker for a short period of
time to assist with mobility. Physical therapy
may also be recommended to help restore range of
motion and strength in the foot. Full recovery
can take several months, and patients should
follow their surgeon's post-operative
instructions carefully to ensure the best
possible outcome.
