Historically, bunion surgery has always been designed to re-align and re-stabilize the first metatarsal bone, because it is the cornerstone for not only proper bunion and big toe correction but also other secondary changes such as hammer toes, metatarsalgia, overlapping toes, bunionette and even collapsed arches.
If first metatarsal can be properly re-aligned and re-stabilized, a bunion foot should in principle be able to return to normal activities such as sports, dancing and high-heels, and with minimal chance of recurrence. Whether this ideal goal can be realized or not depends critically on the correct surgical principles.
All surgical steps need to be physio-logical which means making sense according to the true underlying pathology.
Since foot is more for function than for show and bunion deformity breaks down foot function, it is important for bunion surgery to be able to restore normal function of the foot whenever possible.
