There are women all over New York City, and all over the world, who are dying to fit in to this season’s Manolo Blahniks, Jimmy Choos, or Christian Louboutins but are having trouble due to those darn bunions! Bunions do not only affect women however; both genders can experience extreme discomfort from them that can ultimately interfere with their daily life.
Not all bunion surgery is the same; in fact, there are over 100 different types! At Midtown Podiatry, we have noticed that most people who come into our offices complaining of a bunion fall into one of four categories:
-
Simple Bunion -
- This is a small bump, so the procedure for it is fairly simple. Our physicians would take just off the bump. Since this is a minor procedure the recovery period is also minor, with about 3-4 weeks in a surgical shoe(s) and one month in sneakers with weight bearing throughout.
-
Typical Bunion –
- This is a mild to moderate deformity. For this type of bunion, our physicians will usually take off the bump, surgically break the bone and move it into a better position, held with a screw or a pin. This type of bunion surgery is actually the most common and requires patients to recover for 3-4 weeks in a surgical shoe(s) then follow that with a month in sneakers with weight bearing throughout.
-
Severe Bunion –
- For this type of bunion surgery our physicians will most likely fuse bones (join two separate bones together) to make a dramatic and permanent correction using plates and or screws. This type of bunion correction surgery is not as common and could require the patient to recover for up to 6 weeks in crutches and a month in a sneaker.
-
Bunion in the elderly –
- To treat bunions in the elderly our physicians remove the bump as well as some bone. The recoveries time for this a quick one; about 3- 4weeks in surgical shoe and a month in sneakers.
It is NORMAL to have stiffness, swelling, and limited range of motion for months after a bunion procedure! The patient must always be ready for the recovery!
