A bunionectomy is a surgery used to remove a painful bump on the toe called a bunion. Bunions are normally caused by misalignment or enlargement of bones of the big toe pressing against neighboring toes.
Shoes, especially ill fitting shoes or high heels, can cause the bunion to become worse. There are some non surgical treatments that can be tried, but if they fail to work, surgery may be needed to correct the condition. In the procedure, an incision will be made in the top of the big toe or in the side of the foot.
Then, some of the bone can be removed. In a bilateral bunionectomy, the procedure must be done on two feet.
