This morning, we are treating a painful bunion. The patient is a middle-aged woman who has had the bunion for many years and experiences pain while walking and wearing different shoes. She had [type of bunion surgery unclear] on the other foot a few years ago and has now returned for the second foot. We will use a small-incision technique to shave down and shift the bone. The speaker says she will walk afterward.
Key takeaways
- The patient has long-standing bunion pain that affects walking and footwear.
