This time we are talking about how quickly a bunion correction can be performed. Even a large bunion may be treated through a very small incision. Using a small-incision technique on the side of the big toe, the procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
We use a small blade, shave the bone, shift the bone, and correct the bunion. The doctor says the patient can walk out after the procedure and return to work the next day. He describes the bunion procedure as quick and straightforward.
