Bunion Surgery
What is Bunion Surgery?
Bunion surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct a bunion, which is a deformity of the joint at the base of the big toe. A bunion typically develops when the joint becomes misaligned, causing the big toe to deviate outward toward the other toes.
The development of this desease is often linked to prolonged pressure on the joint, with women being more susceptible due to their tendency to wear tight, pointed footwear.
