The choice of technique depends on various factors, including the severity of the deformity and the patient&#8217;s anatomical characteristics. The main surgical techniques include:<\/p><ol><li>Osteotomy, the surgical fracture of a portion of the metatarsal bone to correct the angle of the bunion. Osteotomy can be performed on the head of the first metatarsal or the base of the first phalanx. After osteotomy, the bone is repositioned correctly and fixed with screws or other stabilization devices. In the percutaneous technique, no metallic synthesis means are used, only a bandage that plays a fundamental role.<\/li><li>Resection of bone tissue. In some cases, the resection of excess bone tissue and bony protrusions, such as exostosis, contributing to the bunion deformity, is performed. Removing excess bone tissue helps restore better alignment of the big toe and the metatarsophalangeal joint.<\/li><li>Ligament correction. In certain situations, ligaments around the metatarsophalangeal joint may be strengthened or lengthened to correct the bunion deformity. This procedure aims to stabilize the joint and prevent the recurrence of the deformity.<\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bunion surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, rarely spinal. If the patient is anxious about the intervention, sedation may be administered, but general anesthesia is not necessary.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8737867 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8737867\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Traditional or Minimally Invasive Procedure\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c572c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c572c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Surgical access can occur through an open or minimally invasive approach. In the open approach, a wider incision is made to achieve better visibility and access to the foot joint. In the minimally invasive approach, small incisions are made to reduce trauma to surrounding tissues and expedite the healing process. The evolution of minimally invasive techniques includes percutaneous techniques where small surgical wounds are replaced by small puncture incisions.<\/p><p>In any case, during the intervention, the big toe is correctly repositioned through manipulation of soft tissues and\/or osteotomy of the metatarsal bone. In some cases, fixation devices such as screws, plates, or wires may be used to stabilize the big toe and the joint.
