A Bunion (also known as a Hallux Abducto Valgus Deformity) is a bone deformity found at the base of the big toe. It is caused by several factors, including shoe gear, hereditary factors and the biomechanics of the foot. How it Works, Sucess Rate & Recovery: Mild deformities that require bunion surgery usually are treated by removing a small portion of the enlarged bone at the head of the metatarsal ALSO KNOWN AS the long bones located in the mid foot. In more severe bunion deformities, your podiatrist may choose to use pins, stainless steel screws, staples, or artificial joint implants so that realignment of the joint is maintained while the bone is healing. Many of the surgical procedures can be performed in an out-patient setting and recovery is short. #bunions #podiatry #downtownpodiatryphysicians Learn more by visiting www.downtownpodiatryphysicians.com/ Follow Downtown Physicians: Instagram: www.instagram.com/downtownphysicians Facebook: www.facebook.com/downtownphysicians Twitter: www.twitter.com/downtownphys Contact us TODAY for an appointment. __ 📱 (212) 379-6767 🌎 DowntownPodiatryPhysicians.com 📍 80 Maiden Lane, Ste. 905, New York, NY 10038
