Bunion surgery is a procedure to correct an enlargement or misalignment of the joint at the base of the big toe. The surgeon may remove bone, tissue, or realign the bones, followed by securing the bones in place with pins or wires. Post-surgery, patients wear a protective splint and undergo physical therapy to restore mobility and reduce pain.

Bunion surgery realigns the bone, ligaments, and tendons in your joint to relieve pain and restore normal foot function. In Singapore, this procedure is commonly performed using minimally invasive techniques.
Popular methods include laparoscopic bunionectomy or osteotomy. Post-surgery care includes rest, physical therapy, and avoidance of weight-bearing activities for several weeks.
