We are treating a painful bunion in a 22-year-old woman who has had problems for many years. Because of the pain, she can no longer wear high heels. The procedure is expected to take about half an hour. We will make a small incision on the side and straighten the toe. The speaker says she will walk on the treated foot within the same hour. We have now finished the bunionectomy. There is a small incision on the side, the toe is straight, and the bunion has been reduced.
Key takeaways
- The patient had long-standing bunion pain that affected footwear choices.
