Bunion surgery, also known as hallux valgus correction, is a common surgical procedure performed to correct the deformity of the big toe joint. The duration of the surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of the bunion, the surgical technique used, and the individual's overall health. On average, bunion surgery usually takes about 1-2 hours. However, this is an estimate and the actual duration can be longer or shorter. During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision over the bunion and realigns the bones to their correct position. This may involve removing excess bone, correcting the joint alignment, and sometimes fusing the joint. Depending on the extent of the correction needed, additional procedures such as tendon releases or ligament repairs may also be performed. After the surgery, the patient will typically spend some time in a recovery room before being discharged. The recovery period can vary, but it usually involves wearing a special surgical shoe or boot for a period of time to protect the foot and allow for healing. Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises may also be prescribed to help regain strength and flexibility in the foot. It's important to note that every patient is unique, and the duration of surgery and recovery can be influenced by factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and compliance with post-operative instructions. It is best to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon or orthopedic specialist who can assess your specific case and provide a more accurate estimate of the duration and recovery process.
