Bunion treatment in Manchester

Minimally invasive bunion surgery

Our bunion removal surgery procedure uses a revolutionary keyhole technique that does not require the fracture of the foot to be immobilised/rested in order to heal. The surgeon will use surgical dental burrs to correct the deformity and modify the bones of the foot through small 2-3-millimetre incisions that leaves virtually no scarring.
A series of small and precise fractures are made to the foot called geometric fractures. The fractures do not require any fixative devices such as screws or pins which force the bone into place. They are instead left to heal naturally according to the patient’s load-bearing needs and not to a pre-set standard that might not be right for the patient and can increase the risk of infection post-surgery.

Once the procedure has taken place and the local anaesthetic has worn off, the patient will be encouraged to walk on the foot and will be able to leave the hospital without the need for crutches.

Do I have a bunion?

The most obvious sign that you have a bunion is a bony lump appearing on the outside edge of the foot. You may find it difficult to find shoes that fit properly or find wearing certain types of shoes painful. Other symptoms of bunions include pain, redness and swelling.

What causes bunions?

It is believed that bunions are often caused by wearing ill-fitting and uncomfortable footwear. This is because it can induce excessive pressure on the toes by forcing the first and fifth toes towards the centre which then compresses the other toes. This can be a big factor as to why you may have developed a bunion.
Other factors that can be a cause of bunions include genetics, deformities from birth, inherited foot type, foot stress/injury or medical conditions such as arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis.

How do I treat my bunion?

There are lots of ‘treatments’ available for bunions but unless it is a surgical procedure, it is unlikely to have a successful result.
Bunion pads and splints are one of the most common bunion treatment methods available which can be sourced from most health stores, pharmacies and even supermarkets. These are great items which can be really successful at relieving pain and discomfort caused by bunions, but it is unlikely that they will have much of an impact on reducing the size of bunion.
