Bunionectomy FAQ
How long does it take to recover from a bunionectomy?
Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and individual factors. Generally, it takes several weeks to a few months for the foot to heal completely. During this time, it’s important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions.
Will I experience pain after a bunionectomy?
Some discomfort and pain are normal after the surgery, and your surgeon will provide pain management strategies such as medication. However, the level of pain can vary among individuals. It tends to gradually decrease as the healing progresses.
Are there any potential risks or complications associated with bunionectomy?
Like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved with bunionectomy. Potential complications can include infection, nerve damage, blood clots, poor wound healing, stiffness in the toe joint, recurrence, CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome), or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. It’s essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon before undergoing the procedure.
Will I be able to walk normally after a bunionectomy?
Most individuals can resume walking within a few days to a few weeks after the surgery, depending on the extent of the procedure.
