Bunion removal is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a bunion, which is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. This condition can cause pain and discomfort, making it difficult to wear shoes or walk comfortably. The surgery typically involves realigning the bones of the toe and removing the excess bone growth. Recovery from bunion removal varies, but patients usually need to rest and avoid putting weight on the foot for a period of time. Physical therapy may be recommended to help restore movement and strength. Most people experience significant relief from pain and improved foot function after the procedure.
