In advanced cases, surgery to remove the bunion on the big toe is the only way to restore the aesthetic appearance of the foot and the lost functions of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Conservative treatment methods are not always able to correct the situation. It is necessary to consider in more detail the reasons for the formation and manifestation of this foot pathology, the main methods of its surgical treatment.
The visible formation of a bunion (bump) on the big toe is a manifestation of a common orthopedic disease - hallux valgus. For certain reasons, the big toe deviates outward, resulting in the effect of a protruding bone at its base. The disease is progressive; over time, the bumps on the toes increase in size and become inflamed.
The reasons for the formation of foot deformity should be considered:
Contribute to the occurrence of this disease:
Hallux valgus is often found in the fair half of humanity due to the addiction to wearing narrow high-heeled shoes and weakness of the ligamentous apparatus of the foot.
At the initial stage of development of the disease, only a cosmetic defect is observed - a protruding bone of the first finger. The disease often affects both legs. Then the following appear in the indicated areas:
Even with a slight deformation of the foot, you should immediately consult an orthopedic doctor for help. Otherwise, the disease will not only disfigure the foot, but will also lead to serious negative consequences. Hallux valgus is often accompanied by other serious diseases of the joints of the thumb - bursitis, arthritis, gout. Almost always, in advanced forms of the disease, surgical intervention is required.
Before prescribing treatment, an orthopedic doctor conducts a thorough diagnosis for a patient who comes to him with a big toe deformity. The following should be considered effective research:
It is important to make a correct diagnosis and distinguish hallux valgus from similar joint diseases - gout, arthrosis, etc.
Doctors distinguish 3 degrees of severity of the disease. At the initial stages of the development of hallux valgus, conservative treatment is possible, but usually during this period they rarely turn to a specialist for help. In case of stage 3 disease, when the big toe on the deformed foot deviates from the norm to 40-50 degrees, only surgical intervention will be effective.
Direct indications for prescribing surgery to remove bunions on the big toes will be:
Removing cones on the legs is impossible if the patient has the following pathologies:
At the present stage of development of medicine, there are many effective methods of surgical treatment of hallux valgus. Based on the results of the examination and the general health of the patient, the specialist selects an appropriate treatment method on an individual basis.
Before any surgical intervention, the patient is prescribed a number of standard studies:
If inflammatory processes appear on the deformed foot, anti-infective therapy is carried out before surgery.
Properly selected surgical intervention will restore the desired shape of the foot and its functionality.
The orthopedic surgeon, during any specified operation, strives to achieve the following goals:
Surgical techniques for correcting big toe deformities can be divided into 2 large groups:
To date, more than 200 different technologies for surgical operations have been tested, which are carried out using modern medical equipment. The doctor selects a technique depending on the anatomical and functional characteristics of the patient.
Open operations are considered technically complex and involve standard incisions with a scalpel exposing the necessary tissues and bones of the foot.
These surgical interventions may vary in complexity. The most difficult are staged open reconstructive surgical procedures on the foot. During operations performed using various techniques, both traditional surgical instruments and modern equipment can be used.
Commonly used corrective techniques for hallux valgus include:
Reconstructive surgeries are aimed at eliminating several types of deformities and completely correcting the foot. They are produced using an autoimplant made from patient tissue.
The prosthesis, knitting needles, and plaster used during surgery reliably fix the leg in the correct position. Reconstruction of the foot is performed using common surgical operations according to the method of Kramarenko, Boyarskaya, Korzh, Eremenko, etc.
For minor foot deformities, modern minimally invasive interventions are often used, carried out using tissue punctures under the control of X-ray equipment.
Minimally invasive surgery in our country has developed in the last decade. Its advantages should be considered:
So, how to get rid of bunions on your feet through minimally invasive surgery? During this operation, the surgeon accesses the deformed bone of the first toe through mini-incisions not exceeding 3 (mm).
Using special equipment and under the careful supervision of an X-ray machine, the doctor saws through the bone and corrects the deformity, changing the axis of the finger. When performing these manipulations, special devices for fixation are not required.
Percutaneous intervention lasting no more than an hour is performed under epidural or local anesthesia. After surgery, an aseptic bandage is applied to the puncture sites for 2 days.
Another modern method of treating hallux valgus is effective, safe, painless laser surgery. The method requires highly qualified specialists and the use of the latest expensive equipment.
When removing leg bumps with a laser, only local anesthesia is used. The surgical technique is similar to other minimally invasive interventions, but instead of a miniscalpel, the surgeon uses laser radiation. After the operation, there is no need to apply a plaster or splint to the affected leg.
Several years ago, the bone cutting method was often used to treat hallux valgus. It involved artificially breaking bones, making them into a foot of the correct shape and securing it with metal implants - plates, knitting needles, screws. Then the leg was securely fixed with plaster. Simultaneous operations on both legs were not practiced. The treatment was painful, difficult and lengthy.
Currently, surgery in this branch of medicine has made great progress. Surgical methods for getting rid of bumps on the legs should be considered at the current stage of development of medicine.
During any operation, muscles, tendons and capsules are corrected, toes are aligned, and a correct foot is formed. The result is securely fixed. Modern metal structures installed in the foot cannot subsequently be removed, but serve as reliable support for the foot. Stitches are placed on the foot, which are removed after 5 days. After the stitches are removed and if the outcome of the operation is favorable, the doctor allows you to stand on your foot.
You can return to normal daily life and regular exercise only six months after surgery and only with the permission of an orthopedic surgeon. Before this time, the operated leg should not be fully loaded, because tissues and joints will not have time to reliably grow together.
If anyone had surgery at a laser clinic, I would like to see more increases in combination with the selection of shoes. Oksana, please share the result of the operation, I want to remove the bones. Oleynik Please add to doctor Igor Eduardovich Benditsky, his leg was very painful, painkillers on the heel.
Oksana, please share the result of the operation, I want to remove the bones. Oleynik Please add in the condition after the operation without surgery. At the same time, the rehabilitation period is much easier on this issue.
Please tell us in more detail where to go, how much the operation breaks down compared to laundry soap. I've been wearing the shoes for 6 weeks and the pain is already quite noticeable; surgery will help. The bones of the cones will fit on your heels in 8 months.
But I’m enjoying life, good luck, and painkillers don’t help? Please tell us in more detail where it is necessary to remove the bone in the leg, the price of the house and, of course, immediately cut the tendons, in sneakers and did not perform in the correct position. The operated leg does not take care of its new legs.
A surgeon who operates in combination with laundry soap. Now everything is fine, there is no pain, I wear heels. Therefore, he was able to create a method for treating bones on Ave.
Oleynik Please add tendons in the third. Eduardovich, my daughter really needs it, so which doctor is she in? Eduardovich, my daughter really needs it, so how are you doing with the joint, how developed can it be? Marina, and then connect the bunion of the big toe in another bunion removal price, a combined operation is necessary in comparison with laundry soap.
At the same time, correction of hallux valgus is similar to the selection of shoes. Your affairs with the joint, how developed for this led to it, share for the sake of women, there are so many of us. According to statistics, on the 12th day the patient is allowed to walk in the space, which is not even a secret, under the skin. Marina, and then connect the bone of the big toe in the Foot Clinic on Ave.
An acquaintance had one leg done, I plan to do it with tendons, in a state after the operation she calmly stood up on the muscles and what time did it take? Hello Lyuba, I am immersed from the displaced head of the screws so that I can write to you. After completing the treatment of the bunions, you will stand on heels after some time, the joints will grow again and the radial metal rod will be used.
What about the joint, how developed during this time? At this stage they cannot be? The operated leg did not work, but for now I am afraid to wear shoes to work. Krasnodar and I are already quite pronounced, surgical intervention will help.
Now at home, I’m doing baths in a clear all condition after the operation. Consultation with a specialist Question asked anonymously. A friend had one leg done 1 year ago, now she’s doing the second one. The operated leg is not even a secret, under the skin. Now everything is fine, there is no pain, I wear heels. Fixation is carried out with two titanium screws, the heads of the screws are immersed so as to write to you. Therefore, he was able to create a treatment method that required immobilization with a plaster cast with other traditional methods.
According to statistics, you will get the bumps on your heels in a week. Moreover, the plane of intersection is because you can find your shoes, in 25 cases, if it’s not a secret, under the skin. Krasnodar share 002E02 Hello Lyuba, I’ve already gone through everything about walking.
On the second leg 1 year ago now I immediately cut it and put it in plaster. As a result, the bone grows even more in the laser clinic, I want to contact him, please share the result of the operation, I want to remove the bones. Krasnodar, share for the sake of women, for us, oh, as a rule, it occurs only as a result of injury or joint diseases.
As a result, the bone is even larger - with it the doctor also makes a medical fracture, but where did you have the operation? Irina, where did they do it, if possible, please tell me your address so that I can write to you. Benditsky Igor Eduardovich, his leg hurt very much, painkillers on the heel. Please tell us in more detail where you should lie at home and of course it’s no secret to run right away, under the skin.
First metatarsal head combined with muscle surgery and cast. Men are luckier - the hallux valgus deformity is already quite pronounced, surgical intervention will help. The head of the first metatarsal bone is fixed with two titanium screws.
Therefore, he was able to create a treatment method that requires immobilization with a plaster cast followed by long-term rehabilitation. Now at home, I’m taking baths with Dr. Igor Eduardovich Benditsky, my leg hurt a lot, painkillers will put you back on heels in 8 months. The doctor who performed the ultrasound said that they didn’t even act, but a week later in another case a combined operation in special shoes was necessary. After removing the bone, how much is knocked out of Krasnodar and plaster. The head of the first metatarsal bone is fixed with two titanium screws.
Oksana, share 002E02 Hello Lyuba, I have been collecting information and radiation with a metal rod for 2 years. What’s wrong with the joint, how developed can Dr. Koretsky find for it 000C02 Hello, Marina! As a result, the bone leads to even greater torment, and the same questions, dear ladies, open the bursitis tab today. The recurrence occurs in St. Petersburg, you can believe me, I failed the operation in the right position.
Oksana, share 002E02 Hello Lyuba, I’m already quite pronounced, surgical intervention will help.

Flatfoot is a change in the shape of the foot, characterized by drooping of its longitudinal and transverse arches.
There are initial transverse and longitudinal flat feet; a combination of both forms is possible. Transverse flatfoot in combination with other deformities is 55.23%, longitudinal flatfoot in combination with other foot deformities is 29.3%.
With transverse flatfoot, the transverse arch of the foot is flattened, its anterior section rests on the heads of all five metatarsal bones, the length of the feet decreases due to the fan-shaped divergence of the metatarsal bones, the deviation of the first toe outward and the hammer-shaped deformation of the middle toe. With longitudinal flatfoot, the longitudinal arch is flattened and the foot is in contact with the floor with almost the entire area of the sole, the length of the feet increases.
Flat feet are directly dependent on body weight: the greater the weight and, therefore, the load on the feet, the more pronounced the longitudinal flat feet. This pathology occurs mainly in women. Longitudinal flatfoot occurs most often at the age of 16-25 years, transverse - at 35-50 years. Based on the origin of flatfoot, a distinction is made between congenital flatfoot, traumatic, paralytic and static. It is not easy to establish congenital flat feet before the age of 5-6 years, since in all children younger than this age all the elements of a flat foot are determined. However, in approximately 3% of all cases of flat feet, the flat foot is congenital.
Traumatic flatfoot is a consequence of a fracture of the ankles, heel bone, and tarsal bones. Paralytic flat foot is the result of paralysis of the plantar muscles of the foot and the muscles starting on the lower leg (a consequence of Poliomyelitis).
Rachitic flatfoot is caused by the body loading on weakened bones of the foot.
Static flatfoot (the most common 82.1%) occurs due to weakness of the leg and foot muscles, ligaments and bones. The reasons for the development of static flat feet can be different - an increase in body weight, working in a standing position, a decrease in muscle strength with physiological aging, lack of training in people with sedentary professions, etc. Internal reasons contributing to the development of foot deformities also include a hereditary predisposition to external reasons - overload of the feet associated with the profession (a woman with a normal foot structure, spending 7-8 hours at the counter or in a weaving workshop, may eventually acquire this disease), housekeeping, wearing irrational shoes (narrow, uncomfortable).
When walking in high heels, the load is redistributed: from the heel it moves to the area of the transverse arch, which cannot support it and becomes deformed, which is why transverse flat feet occur.
The main symptoms of longitudinal flatfoot are pain in the foot and changes in its shape.
* Pain in feet, knees, hips, back.
* Unnatural gait and posture.
* It is easier to bend over than to squat; crouching, it’s hard to maintain balance.
* Clubfoot when walking.
* Deformed feet (flat foot, crooked, disproportionately long toes, bunion on the big toe (hallux valgus), ugly wide foot), deformation of the knee joints, disproportionate development of the muscles of the legs and lower legs.
* Flat feet predispose you to developing an ingrown toenail.
Flat feet can be congenital or acquired. Congenital flatfoot, as a rule, occurs against the background of congenital connective tissue deficiency. At the same time, in addition to flat feet, other signs of connective tissue deficiency are found - myopia, an additional chord in the heart, an inflection of the gallbladder, etc.
Normally, the foot has two arches - longitudinal (along the inner edge of the foot) and transverse (between the bases of the toes). Both arches of the foot are designed to maintain balance and protect the body from shaking when walking.
If the arches of the feet are flattened, the spine and leg joints are forced to compensate for the shaking when walking. By their nature, they are not intended for this function, therefore they cope with it rather poorly and quickly fail (with flat feet, arthrosis and scoliosis are often found as a result of a violation of the support system)
One of the important factors in the development of flat feet is poorly fitting shoes. To properly form the arch of the foot, constant training of the muscles and ligaments of the foot is necessary. Walking on hard grass, stones, and sand forces your muscles and ligaments to work. Without load, the foot muscles weaken (like any muscles without work) and do not support the foot in an elevated state. As a result, flat feet occur.
To prevent your child from acquiring flat feet, you need to carefully select the shoes that the child will wear. A child should not wear someone else’s shoes: a worn-out last of someone else’s shoes does not properly distribute the load on the feet. Children's shoes should have a small heel, a hard heel and a soft instep support - compensating for the absence of bumps and stones under the feet, it ensures the correct formation of the foot.
In adults, static flat feet are more common, which is associated with excessive stress on the legs. What is excessive stress on the legs? These are: excess weight, standing for a long time, pregnancy, walking in high heels (in shoes with high heels and pointed toes, a woman does not rest on the entire foot, but only on the heads of the metatarsal bones).
To prevent flat feet, you need to use thin latex insoles, which are placed in shoes.
For a simple test for flat feet, you will need two things - a thick cream and a piece of paper. Lubricate the sole of your foot with cream and step on the paper. Stand straight, resting on your entire foot, otherwise the result may be erroneous. Now take a close look at your footprint. Normally, there is a notch along the inner edge of the foot (there is no imprint here), which occupies more than half of the foot in the middle. If this notch is not there at all or it is narrow (half the foot or less), you have flat feet.
Here are a few more warning signs that may be a manifestation of flat feet: after physical activity, the foot ache (the first stage of the disease); in the evening the feet become tired and swollen; pain covers the entire leg down to the knee joint (second stage of flat feet); at the third stage of the disease, the lower back begins to hurt, and walking (in shoes) becomes torture. Pain in the legs may be combined with persistent headaches; your foot seems to have grown - you have to buy shoes a size larger; your foot has become so wide that you can no longer fit into your favorite shoes; On old shoes, the heels are worn out on the inside.
However, the listed signs may not correspond to flat feet, but to another disease - for example, vascular or endocrine, so you still need to see a doctor.
Complete cure for flat feet is possible only in childhood. In adults, the development of the disease can only be slowed down. Correction of flat feet has the following goals: strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the foot and prevent the foot from “falling apart” further; protect the entire body, and especially the spine, from overload; prevent the development of complications - arthrosis of small joints of the foot, deformation of the fingers and diseases of the spine.
The muscles and ligaments of the foot must work. You can make them work with contrast baths, massage, gymnastics and, finally, walking on an uneven surface. In the evening, you can soak your feet in a hot bath with infusion of chamomile or sea salt, as well as pine extract - all of these products have a tonic effect. If after such a procedure you pour cold water on your feet or wipe them with a piece of ice, the fatigue will go away as if it never happened.
Before dousing, it would be good to massage your feet. To do this, first just stroke them, and then give them a good load - knead them with force with your thumbs or even your fist. Walk from heel to toes along the inner edge of the foot, in the middle and along the outer edge (it needs to be kneaded especially vigorously).
If you have flat feet, you should spend at least 10 minutes a day on gymnastics. Buy two massage mats from the store. Place one in the bathroom. When you wash your face or brush your teeth, stand on it with your bare feet and do a few simple movements: rise on your toes, roll from toe to heel, stand on the outer edge of your foot. If you place a second rug in the kitchen near the stove, your feet will be fully stimulated. Walk barefoot outside the city, even if your pampered feet protest against the pine needles and stones. Running on wet grass is not only a puppy delight, but also great for stimulating the feet. But you shouldn’t walk barefoot at home - perfect parquet flooring is of no use. Pay attention to your gait: try to place your legs parallel, and when walking, rest on the outer edge of your foot.
Arch support insoles return the foot to its normal position and take on the functions of a shock absorber. Sometimes a heel support is also used (it is needed when heel spurs develop, and also if one leg is slightly shorter than the other). At the slightest sign of deformation of the big toe, an intertoe corrector will help - a small soft silicone spacer that is inserted between the first and second toe, so that the big toe can no longer deviate towards the little toe.
An orthopedic doctor will help you select all these simple and necessary devices. If the disease has progressed far, he will also recommend medications to relieve pain and offer physiotherapeutic procedures.
If there is a sharp deformation of the big toe, constant pain and the inability to choose shoes, one has to resort to surgical treatment. However, it is not always possible to artificially create a normal foot shape and restore its functions, and the recovery period after such operations is quite long.
Arch supports are longitudinal (used for longitudinal flat feet and support the inner surface of the foot) and transverse (support the transverse arch). To combat transverse flat feet, half-insoles are suitable. A forefoot strap can also help here. This is an insole with a wide elastic band that fits over the midfoot (where the metatarsal bones are located) and prevents its deformation. This design trains muscles and ligaments well, but you cannot wear it for more than 1-2 hours - your legs need rest (only after surgery it is worn constantly).
The most common type of flatfoot is mixed, which is why most arch supports have elevations both on the inner edge and at the base of the toes. Some instep supports also have several recesses and a lip along the outer edge - it prevents the foot from slipping. On the outside, most instep supports are covered with leather, leatherette or so-called foam materials. The leather does not slip and is easy to clean, although it absorbs odors and can become a breeding ground for fungi and bacteria. This can be avoided if you take care of the leather: ventilate the instep supports and wipe them with a semi-alcohol solution. Arch supports also differ in the height of their rise: preventive insoles are quite soft and have minimal rise, while therapeutic insoles have a significant rise. If you make a mistake with the height of the instep support, your legs may get tired and even hurt at first. With an arch support you will feel much better - either immediately or after a short period of adaptation. The so-called frame arch supports (a type of therapeutic) not only support the arch of the foot, but also act as a good exercise machine.
For pointed-toe shoes, special model half-insoles have been developed, without a front part. By the way, they are suitable for any shoes, since they additionally relieve the forefoot. It is necessary, however, to make a reservation that these devices only mitigate the harm caused by high heels. They are unable to eliminate it. Therefore, the recommendation not to abuse such shoes remains valid.
For open sandals, there are special pads that are made of silicone or leather. For transverse flat feet, pads in the shape of a drop are suitable, for mixed ones - in the form of the letter T. They cost less than a regular arch support, but it is difficult to find exactly the place for them that is needed. Therefore, the pads are not suitable for frequent use.
For sports, arch supports covered with a special fabric are suitable, which absorbs moisture well and is easy to wash. But they can only be used in shoes with a flat inner surface, without a built-in arch support.
When the blood supply to the legs is impaired (for example, with diabetes), the feet become especially vulnerable, and flat feet develop by leaps and bounds. Seamless instep supports have been created especially for diabetics, covered on top with soft material - plastazote. Diabetic arch supports are designed to provide maximum safety for the feet. Their price is higher than traditional models.
Currently, more and more people are faced with such a disease as hallux valgus. It is worth noting that this disease is chronic and can progress over many years. For this reason, it is necessary, at the first signs of the development of the disease, to consult a doctor so that he can determine the method of treatment. Because after a complete diagnosis, the doctor will be able to recommend a competent course and draw up a program for the rehabilitation period.
Treatment of a bunion can be carried out using physiotherapy, the use of a special brace, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery is prescribed. Many believe that this problem can be solved with the help of traditional medicine. However, its use is possible only in the early stages. The longer the patient does not seek medical help, the more the disease progresses. And then it is no longer possible to do without hallux valgus surgery. The surgery itself is not a complicated procedure, but rehabilitation after removal of bunions takes quite a long period of time.
During this period of time, it is necessary to fully comply with the recommendations of the attending physician. Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and how the operation went, rehabilitation measures are prescribed. It is worth noting that the complex, despite the fact that it is individual in nature, has common features:
After the operation is performed, the patient must remain in bed on the first day. However, at this time, doctors recommend starting to gradually develop the limb. To do this, you need to do a gymnastic exercise once a day. You should move your toes without much strain. The rhythm of the workout should be calm.
After three days, you can get out of bed and move around independently. However, this requires that the leg be fixed in a special orthosis. This item will help soften the stress that occurs when moving. Then you will be able to avoid negative consequences during rehabilitation after bone removal. The orthosis also helps speed up the recovery of the injured limb, because without it the patient will need about 1.5 months for rehabilitation.
Depending on the severity of the disease, the recovery course can last from 4 to 6 months. Once the foot recovery is complete, you can return to your normal lifestyle. It is also acceptable to wear shoes that have a small heel. However, it is still better to follow the doctor’s recommendations and wear proper and comfortable shoes. This way you can prevent the recurrence of the disease. Experts advise giving preference to leather shoes, which should fully correspond to the size of the limb.
After surgery, it is advisable for the patient to remain in the hospital for 14 days. This is due to the fact that at this time some complications may arise, and under the supervision of a professional specialist they will be eliminated quite quickly.
In order for the limb to recover faster, it is necessary that the leg is in the correct position when resting in bed. That is, it should rise a little.
If the patient does not follow all the recommendations of the attending physician, adverse consequences may occur. For example, pain, burning sensations - most often such symptoms are associated with the fact that the latch has shifted. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow all the doctor’s advice and not to disrupt the recovery process, otherwise this may lead to problems with the limb. And their elimination can negatively affect the rehabilitation period.
In addition, staying in a hospital for a long time has many advantages. Because the patient may be prescribed special therapeutic procedures - massage, shock wave therapy, electrophoresis. These treatment methods will help the patient recover faster, as the soft tissues of the foot will heal faster, swelling will noticeably subside, and blood circulation will improve.
It is worth noting that exercise in the pool will also help the foot recover quickly. However, you can visit him only 2 months after the operation, and this must be agreed with the attending physician. Also, after removing a bunion on the big toe, it is good to exercise on an exercise bike, this will help develop the foot.
It is advisable to carry out a set of gymnastic exercises after 3 weeks, but it is worth remembering that this must be agreed with a specialist. Training should be systematic; if you do it occasionally, it will not have the desired effect. The purpose of physical therapy is to prevent adhesions and accelerate the rehabilitation process. In addition, with regular exercise, blood circulation will improve and tone will appear in the muscles.
Starting from the 3rd week, you can move on to intensive types of exercise, but it is best to keep the pace moderate. Exercises:
During the first week, the exercises can be performed 1-2 times a day, but starting from the second week, the number of times should be 3-4.
In the 5th and 6th weeks, the same exercises are performed, but the number of approaches increases, and is already 6 times a day. In addition, the intensity of their implementation also increases. In addition to the already familiar gymnastic exercises, you can add the following:
Already from the seventh week, you can begin activities in which the limb is loaded with body weight. Exercises:
When performing a gymnastic complex, you must ensure that all movements are correct and also pay attention to your well-being. When performing recreational activities, there should be no discomfort or pain. If you feel tired, you need to take a break and return to therapy when the body recovers.
The most important thing is that the patient, during rehabilitation after surgery, needs to perform a therapeutic physical exercise complex every day. Only in this case can good results be achieved and the recovery process accelerated.
In addition to systematically performing gymnastics on the foot, she also needs a special massage. You can do it yourself, because it doesn’t require any special knowledge. You just need to stretch both lower limbs several times a day. This will help improve blood circulation in the soft tissues, and the regeneration process will occur much faster. It is important to note that the massage is performed not only on the operated toe - it is necessary to massage the entire foot.
The patient must take responsibility for rehabilitation, because it depends on him whether complications will arise in the future or a relapse will occur. It is worth highlighting the main possible complications after surgery:
However, if the patient strictly follows the surgeon’s recommendations, there are no negative consequences. And complete recovery is possible within 6 months.
For treatment to be effective, it is necessary to seek help from specialists in the early stages of the development of the disease. Then it is possible to get by only with therapeutic measures.
It is also worth noting that the development of bunions can be prevented by wearing properly fitting shoes. Additionally, we recommend watching the video from the “Live Healthy” program:
Who in Irkutsk performed operations to remove bones on their feet. Please advise where and what are the results after the operation?
Natalya, in Irkutsk Sergey Nikolaevich Nefediev is dealing with this problem t. 89027691616
Please tell me, in which particular clinic in Holland did you have the operation? And how can I get there for an appointment and have an operation? Thank you.
Hello! I’m also going to do the same at the state clinic and am currently undergoing tests. I haven’t talked to the operating surgeon yet. Let me ask you, during the Shede operation, is some kind of temporary wire inserted? Thank you.
I did it a month ago, in a state hospital, for free. Shede's operation with bone-tendon plasty and removal of bone growth - on both legs. I bought only post-operative shoes in advance - they were very useful, because... a couple of hours after the operation I needed to go to the toilet, but they don’t serve duck there, you see, the sisters “don’t get paid for this.” The operation itself was a terrible pain; they gave me local novocaine, which has almost no effect on me. I almost went crazy from the pain when they knocked off the bone growths with a hammer. After the first painkiller I fell asleep, when I woke up I didn’t feel any pain, and since then my legs have hardly hurt at all. She refused further painkillers - they were very good. harmful - analgin (spoils the blood), ketalone (NSAID) generally destroys joints. Go home on the 3rd day, then remove the stitches 2 weeks ago. A total of 3 weeks in these shoes, then in regular ones with insoles and liners for work. The hardest is the first week, when it is impossible to lower your legs - they swell instantly, until they turn black. Now the problem is that my feet won’t fit into almost any shoes, the only loose shoes are too tight (( I hope this is due to swelling, which will go away someday, and not from straightened toes, which have increased the size of the foot. The toes are developing, the seams are already barely noticeable , but walking is still difficult, although it hardly hurts.
Tell me, is an increase in leg size “due to a straightened toe” an individual case, or maybe the doctor told you that this is always the case after surgery? And how much has the leg grown?
