7. Will it recur after removing the big foot bone?

Answer: Microhole correction of bunions must correct the crooked toe while removing the osteophytes. That is bone setting, which restores the inverted metatarsal bones to their normal position. In the past surgery, the osteophytes were removed and the adductor pollicis muscle was cut off or a section of the metatarsal bone was amputated (commonly known as "breaking the bone"), but the metatarsal bone was still in the varus position. Therefore, patients who had undergone surgery in the past knew that not long after the bandage was removed, the big toe became crooked and the bulge reappeared. They thought the bone had grown back and the doctor said it was a recurrence. In fact, it is impossible for the bones to grow back. It can be seen from X-rays that the osteophytes have been flattened, but the intermetatarsal angle and hallux valgus angle have not been corrected to their normal positions. Therefore, correction is the key during surgery now, without destroying the normal joint anatomy, there will be no recurrence after surgery, and the long-term effect is very good.

8. Can the foot shape be corrected like a normal person after surgery?

Answer: The effect after surgery is not only based on your original condition. For improvement, it must be restored to normal, the bone protrusions are flattened, the crooked toes are corrected, the foot shape is narrow and thin, like a normal person, and there are no obvious incision scars.

The most serious harm of bunions is severe overlapping of the big toes. If the toes are not stressed, the arches of the feet will collapse, making it difficult to walk. The soles of the feet will directly bear the pressure of the toes, and there will be calluses on the soles of the feet. The feet will be seriously damaged. Wrong load will eventually make it difficult for the joints to function in a coordinated manner, and may even cause knee joint inflammation, back pain, etc.
