Bunionectomy with Wedge Osteotomy
OVERVIEW
A bunionectomy is performed to correct a deformity of the big toe joint. One of the most common and effective
bunion removal procedures is an osteotomy, which removes a portion of the bone from the big toe.
Depending on the type of osteotomy and fixation, a walking cast, splint, or special shoes may be worn for
several weeks. Normal activities can usually be resumed after the bones and soft tissue heal, normally
within six to eight weeks after the procedure.
