A recent review of a very happy bunion patient. This just shows you how foot surgery has advanced over the years, particularly bunion surgery. Modern procedures allow for small incision, quick recuperation, and research confirms long-term results are achievable. Typically the surgery is day surgery, incisions are much smaller now and recuperation is therefore quicker.

If you have any specific questions or would like to discuss similar cases, feel free to contact me.
