Silverstone Podiatry provides advanced bunion surgery for patients in NYC & Staten Island seeking relief from chronic foot misalignment. Our expert surgeons focus on restoring the natural function of your foot through modern corrective techniques. We prioritize your comfort and long-term mobility by addressing both the visual bump and the underlying structural issues.
Bunion surgery, or hallux valgus correction, is a procedure designed to realign the first metatarsal bone and the big toe joint. This clinical intervention addresses the bony prominence on the side of the foot by repositioning shifted bones and balancing surrounding soft tissues. By correcting the structural cause of the deformity, the procedure aims to eliminate pain and restore the foot’s proper mechanical alignment.
We begin with a comprehensive examination where we discuss your goals and evaluate your foot’s unique structure. Our surgeons use this time to answer your questions and determine if traditional or minimally invasive techniques are most appropriate for your lifestyle.
Most surgeries are performed in an outpatient setting and typically take about one hour to complete. We often utilize local anesthesia to numb the foot, sometimes combined with a mild sedative to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the process.
During the procedure, the surgeon realigns the metatarsal bone using precise cuts or ligament adjustments to straighten the toe. Small, medical-grade screws are frequently utilized to securely hold the bone in its new, corrected position during the healing phase.
Following the procedure, you will be fitted with a specialized boot or cast that allows for immediate or early mobility while the bone heals. Regular follow-up visits ensure that your recovery is progressing as planned and that you can return to normal activities as soon as possible.
