Bunion Surgery

Traditional UK Bunion Surgery vs. Private, Minimally-Invasive Treatment

by Leave a Comment

It’s estimated that 30% of the UK suffers from painful bunions. Apart from causing discomfort, many patients feel embarrassed by their appearance and find that it can interfere with wearing certain shoe options. With two different kinds of treatment methods available, how are they different and why should you choose treatment with us here at The Private Clinic?

Cost of traditional bunion surgery UK

In the UK, the cost of traditional bunion surgery is £4,218 with consultation fees usually included.

While free treatment is possible on the NHS, many hospitals will only operate for extreme cases which often requires being added to a waiting list. When combining this with the time to attain a GP referral to being deemed suitable and in-need of the surgical procedure, it can be quite a considerably long process which is not ideal if wanting to treat bunions during a specific time period (such as when time can be taken off, before a vacation or the Summer season).

NHS bunion surgery is also very invasive and often uses fixative devices such as screws, plates or wires which results in an increased amount of downtime with patients needed to expect anywhere from 2-6 weeks off their feet; meaning a large amount of time off work or social activities.

How much does private bunion surgery cost:?

At The Private Clinic, an initial consultation with our expert Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Bianchi is £200 (includes a free foot X-ray). The price for the no screw, no scar treatment of one bunion is £4,600 or £7,900 for two (both feet).

We also offer free consultations to find out more about the procedure prior to meeting with Dr Bianchi with our patient advisers and finance options for our bunion treatment.

Consultations can be easily booked via phone with your procedure at the closest time convenient for you and Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Bianchi. As treatment is private, no referral is needed and treatment can be carried out on bunions varying in different severity grades (not just on extreme cases). If you would like to undergo your treatment at a specific time this can also be possible; just contact us or your patient advisor (patient advisors are assigned to each patient post-consultation).

While private treatment is more costly than NHS or traditional methods, many patients find that it is worth the additional costs in order to receive faster care easily, without excessive downtime (you leave the hospital walking) or having to undergo invasive surgery (broken bones, screws, wires and scars).

Our bunion surgery costs include:

  • Consultation – Patients will meet with our expert Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon, Dr Andrea Bianchi who will explain in detail how the keyhole bunion operation is performed as well as answer any questions.
  • X-Ray – A free X-ray of the foot (or feet) to be treated will be carried out in-house to help the surgeon assess your suitability for treatment.
  • Hospital fees – These are all included within our costs.
  • Orthopaedic bunion surgeon cost – This is included within our costs.
  • Shoes following surgery – Patients will be given specialised orthopaedic footwear to wear during recovery for 3 weeks.
  • Aftercare – We have a 24-hour patient helpline so you are always in the best of hands.
  • Follow-Up Appointments – All post-operative check ups with Dr Bianchi and your nursing team are included in your treatment price.

The cost of bunion surgery

by Leave a Comment

When it comes to deciding to go ahead with surgery or not, the cost of a private self-pay procedure can be a deciding factor.

Although it is obviously a big part of your surgery decision, we always say that the cost of a procedure should not come before your health and instead a decision should be made based on what is going to be best for you and who is going to provide you with the best level of care.

The cost of bunion surgery is a difficult one to take in. Yes, bunion surgery is available on the NHS but for many – this could mean weeks to months off work and a lengthy waiting list.

Going privately for bunion surgery means you will potentially be seen a lot sooner and when visiting The Private Clinic, we are able to offer patients a minimally invasive surgical bunion removal procedure which boasts a quick recovery time and the ability to walk shortly after the procedure takes place.

What is bunion surgery?

Bunion surgery or a bunionectomy is a surgical procedure that corrects a deformity of the joint at the bottom of your big toe which is known as a bunion or hallux valgus.

Previously, a surgical bunion removal treatment involved a significant recovery period where patients were not able to easily walk or take part in any sport or exercise for up to 6 months. This has been a big reason why many who suffer with bunions have tried to avoid surgery.

Many have instead used other treatments and remedies such as bunion pads, insoles, wide shoes, and painkillers. These short-term fixes are ideal for preventing the further development of bunions and relieving pain temporarily, but they are not suitable for treating the bunion and reducing its size – this is something that will always require surgical intervention.

Key hole bunion surgery with no screws, wires, scar, crutches and walk out of the hospital

At The Private Clinic, we are able to offer our patients a minimally invasive surgical bunion removal procedure that has been inspired by keyhole surgery techniques. Developed by Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon, Dr Bianchi – our bunionectomy procedure is able to effectively remove bunions from the foot without the use of any fixative devices such as screws, plates, or wires. Following surgery, patients are able to walk immediately with no crutches and get back to their everyday activities, with no downtime and a lot quicker than traditional bunion removal surgery. The scaring post-procedure is also minimal as no z shaped cut is used.

How to treat bunion pain?

by Leave a Comment

Bunions or Hallux Valgus as they are medically known are bony bumps on the inside of the foot around the big toe. It is actually a deformity of the foot which forms over time when your big toe pushes against your next toe, forcing the joint of your big toe to grow and stick out the side of your foot.

In most cases, bunions are an aesthetic concern but for some, bunions can be painful and cause everyday discomfort especially when it comes to wearing certain shoes and exercising.

Physical symptoms of bunions include:

  • Swelling of the foot
  • Restricted movement of the big toe
  • Formation of calluses
  • Compromised balance
  • Not being able to walk normally

There are lots of options out there to help people relieve the pain of their bunions such as:

Medication

Pain medication is an obvious choice for bunion pain. Medications such as ibuprofen can help to reduce pain and swelling but are not something that we advise taking on a regular basis. Your GP may also be able to offer you corticosteroid injections which can be effective for a couple of weeks but this again, is not a long-term treatment solution.

Foot Exercises

Foot and, or ankle exercises can help to relieve some of the physical symptoms of bunions by correcting muscle imbalance around the joint. Exercises include muscle-strengthening movements which will help with joint alignment and motion exercises to keep the joint mobile. Example exercises include heel raises, curling the toes and spreading the toes.
You can find out more about foot exercises for bunions in our blog here.

Pads and Splints

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.

Bunion pads are soft pads that you can put into shoes to stop them rubbing against the bunion which can be effective at reducing any pain or irritation.

Bunion splints often come in the form of toe spacers or toe supports and are designed to push the big toe into better alignment. In most cases these splints can only we worn whilst at home as they can be quite bulky which makes wearing shoes difficult.

The results from bunion pads and splints are also very mixed. Overall, they help to reduce some of the pain and swelling but they will in most cases, not be able to actively treat or reduce the size of bunion.

Orthotics

Orthotics are specialised shoe or heel inserts and are often prescribed or recommended by doctors or podiatrists. In most cases, orthotics are custom made, and you may have difficulty finding bunion-specific orthotics that are not prescribed. Orthotics may help to relieve discomfort and pain whilst wearing shoes by providing support for the foot or heel, but they will not actively help to treat the bunion.

Surgery

Bunion surgery, medically known as a bunionectomy or an osteotomy is the only method available that will treat a bunion and the pain associated with it with long lasting results.

Bunion surgery is often a last resort for many people as it traditionally has required long recovery times and a painful recovery.

We are pleased to be able to offer Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery at our Harley Street clinic that uses keyhole surgery techniques.

It is a quick surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic that doesn’t involve any fixative devices such as screws, plates or wires. Shortly after the treatment has taken place, patients are able to and are encouraged to walk before leaving hospital and are able to leave with no need for crutches. Patients are able to return to their everyday activities and a lot quicker than traditional bunion removal surgery with no extensive downtime. The scaring post-procedure is also minimal as no z shaped cut is used.

Minimally invasive bunion surgery is exclusively available at The Private Clinic of Harley Street, London under the strict supervision of Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon MD, Dr Andrea Bianchi founder of PBS, the team who developed the percutaneous bunion surgery in 1996 and has supervised over 50,000 surgeries since.

Foot Exercises for Bunions

by Leave a Comment

Do you suffer from Bunions?  You are not alone, it has been estimated that over 30% of the UK population suffer from bunions.

One of the main side effects of having bunions is pain. In this blog post, we will be covering some of the best exercises you can do to reduce the pain and increase the flexibility of the toes.

Physical therapy exercises are a great way to help with pains and can also slow down the progression of the bunion by maintaining the flexibility of the muscles that control your big toe.

Some great exercises include:

  • Toe stretches: Stretching your toes can be very beneficial to reduce pain, in particular, if you suffer from bent toes or have hammertoes as well as bunions. To stretch your toes stretch them and then curl them back for a period of up to 10 minutes.
  • Resistance exercises: Resistance stretching can help build up mobility and flexibility. Patients can use resistance bands or even a towel and place it around the big toe. The exercise consists of moving your toe backwards and forwards whilst creating some resistance by pulling the towel or band toward yourself.

  • Ball roll: Often people experience cramping or foot straining so a great exercise to help with these issues is ball roll. For this exercise, you will need a ball (tennis ball, golf ball or a plastic ball), place it on the bridge of your feet and move front back to front massaging the area for 2 minutes.

  • Towel grip: A great way of strengthening your toes and improve their overall flexibility is by gripping any object with your toes. A good example is to use try and grip a towel with your toes and continuously repeat this motion.

 

  • Toe flexing and contracting: Similar to one of our previous exercises is toe flexing and contracting. Place our toes against any hard surface to then press against it, hold for a few seconds and release in the opposite direction. Repeat five times.
  • Big toe stretching: You can focus on just stretching your big toe by grabbing it and pulling it towards yourself creating some resistance and holding for a few seconds.  Repeat a least 4 times.

  • Walks on the beach: Who doesn’t love a nice walk on the beach? Well walking on sand can also be beneficial to strengthen your toes as the sand acts as a gentle foot massage.

It is important to remember that these are exercises to temporarily help relieve the pain caused by bunions. If you are having issues walking or struggle to wear certain shoes, surgery may be the best option for you.

At The Private Clinic, we offer exclusively a minimally-invasive bunion removal procedure developed by Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Andrea Bianchi. Unlike traditional bunion surgery this procedure doesn’t involve a long recovery time because no fixative devices (no screws, plates o wires) are inserted so patients are able to walk right after the procedure. With a 98% success rate, the mini-invasive bunion removal operation has outstanding results.

Why do my feet hurt?

by Leave a Comment

Foot pain is a very common problem amongst and the majority of the time it’s easily rectified with a well-earned rest but in some cases it can be something a little more serious.

For some patients, foot pain isn’t just what happens after a night out or a busy day shopping it can be constant and cause difficulty in choosing shoes to wear and performing sporting activities such as running.

There could be a range of causes for your foot pain and we would recommend that you visit your GP to help you identify what might be wrong. One common cause of foot pain is Bunions or Hammertoe.

Bunions are a bone deformity of the joint which connects your big toe to the foot. It forms over time when your big toe pushes against your next toe which forces the joint of your big toe to grow and stick out from the side of the foot. It is reported that over 15 million people in the UK have bunions and the most common candidates are women over 45.

Usually, you wouldn’t need to see a doctor to tell you that you have a bunion, they are quite easy to self-diagnose as they do cause a change to the shape of your foot. You may notice a swollen and bony bump on the outside edge of your foot and sometimes hard, callused and red skin can be present which is caused by your big toe and second toe overlapping. Some patients experience sore skin over the top of their bunions and often experience pain and swelling particularly after wearing shoes or standing/walking for long periods.

There are a lot of treatments for bunions including non-surgical options such as bunion pads which can help with making shoes more comfortable but for more instant and long lasting results, a bunionectomy procedure is recommended.

A bunionectomy is often not a first choice for many patients, although offered on the NHS, the downtime can be quite extensive taking anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks and often extensive activities such as sport and exercise will have to be avoided for 6 months. It is a bit commitment and with many of us leading busy lifestyles, it is most often not an option to be considered.

Here at The Private Clinic of Harley Street London, we are excited to be able to offer a minimally invasive surgical bunion removal procedure that has been inspired by keyhole surgery techniques. The minimally invasive bunionectomy procedure was originally developed by Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon, Dr Bianchi. The keyhole procedure is able to remove bunions from the foot with a quick mini-invasive surgical procedure that doesn’t involve any fixative devices such as screws, plates or wires. After the treatment patients are able to walk immediately with no crutches and get back to their everyday activities with no downtime and a lot quicker than traditional bunion removal surgery. The scaring post-procedure is also minimal as no z shaped cut is used.

Why I Decided to Have Bunion Surgery

Karen had suffered from bunions since leaving school, she felt her bunions were starting to have a negative impact on her life affecting her posture, the way she walked, the activities she was able to do and even the shoes she was able to wear. Having previously been offered bunion surgery on the NHS she had refused due to the extensive downtime that would have had a huge impact on both her work and home life having a young family to raise at home.

Karen was keen to find another option and came across the minimally invasive keyhole procedure for bunions offered at The Private Clinic and decided to come in to find out more about it. A few weeks later, she was arriving at The Fitzroy Hospital ready to have her first bunion removal procedure and now 4 weeks on from her second procedure she wondered why she waited so long.

Best podiatrist near me

by Leave a Comment

Have you been seeing a podiatrist for your bunions?

A podiatrist or chiropodist is often who you go to see with common foot problems such as ingrown toenails, verruca’s and corns or calluses. But podiatrists can also offer help and advice for those suffering with heel pain, flat feet, sports injuries and bunions.

A podiatrist may offer suggest a range of different treatments to help relieve the pain that your bunion may be causing such as;

  • Padding & Taping – Using bunion pads or taping the foot into a ‘normal’ position can help to reduce the stress on the bunion and minimise the pain.
  • Medication – Anti-inflammatory drugs are often recommended to help reduce the pain and inflammation that the bunion may be causing, you may also be offered cortisone injections.
  • Physical Therapy – Your podiatrist may offer ultrasound therapy to help provide relief from bunion pain and inflammation.
  • Orthotics – Shoe inserts may be offered to try and prevent the bunion from getting worse.
  • Surgery – Bunion surgery is the only way to heal a bunion. A bunionectomy can involve removing the bony prominence and using screws to realign the bone. An extensive period of downtime is required and discomfort is common for several weeks following surgery. A new form of bunionectomy is now available exclusively at The Private Clinic which does not require any metal fixtures such as wires or screws and patients are able to walk immediately after surgery with minimal downtime. More details on minimally invasive bunion surgery are below.

You may have noticed that a lot of the things your podiatrist is offering you for your bunions are helping to relieve the pain, but not helping to treat the issue. Bunion surgery with the NHS requires a lot of downtime and usually is not an option for many who lead busy lives.

Have you thought about an easy solution to remove your bunion with the minimally invasive keyhole surgery method offered exclusively at The Private Clinic in London Harley Street.

Mr Andrea Bianchi is our Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon at The Private Clinic. Andrea Bianchi is the founder of PBS, the team who developed the minimally invasive bunion surgery in 1996 and has supervised over 50,000 surgeries since.

Minimally invasive keyhole bunion removal surgery is able to remove bunions from the foot with a quick mini-invasive surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic that doesn’t involve any fixative devices such as screws, plates or wires. After the treatment patients are able to walk immediately with no crutches and get back to their everyday activities, with no downtime and a lot quicker than traditional bunion removal surgery. The scaring post-procedure is also minimal as no z shaped cut is used.

Mr Bianchi uses small surgical dental burrs which are inserted through a very small 2-3 millimetre incision. These burrs are then guided using a special radiological device which allows him to see the bones and surgical burrs without the need for larger incisions. Dr Bianchi will then create a series of small and precise fractures to correct the bunion deformity and modify the bones of the foot which is known as a geometric fracture. These geometric fractures do not require fixative devices such as screws or pins which force the bone into place. The geometric fractures created are left to heal naturally without the strain of being forced into a ‘pre-set standard which may not be natural for the patient. After the procedure, the patient is encouraged to walk on the foot which means the foot can heal according to the patient’s load-bearing needs and the correct physiological readjustments.

Our minimally invasive bunion procedure is increasingly popular with patients with demanding jobs, busy family lives and generally anyone who does not want to commit to a 6 month period of downtime. Patients will have their treated foot taped using a personalised bandaging technique allowing for the physiological healing process to restructure the foot without the need for the patient to keep it rested at all times. Patients will be required to wear a specialised orthopaedic shoe for up to 20 days before then returning to the clinic to have the bandaging replaced and reduced and many patients are then able to wear wide-fitting trainers to return home.
