Q1: Many people talk about bunion
surgery being painful and a long recovery,
is this true?
A: Yes,
it is the case after certain types of bone-breaking surgery.

much less and for 1-2 days only. Its recovery period is much less
incapacitating.

same time?
A: Yes, this is usually the preference by patients with bilateral bunion condition.

A: No, the only foreign material used is the ordinary surgical sutures and they are dissolvable.
Q4: What are the possible
complications?
A: Complications are possible but a lot fewer and milder in comparison to the "break-n-shift" surgeries. The possible complications are numbness around the wound (on top of great toe), wound infection, over-correction, early partial recurrence and stress fracture due to excessive walking and separation between second and third metatarsals. There has been no known late recurrence or transfer metatarsalgia.
