The causes of bunion misalignment at the osteotomy after bunion surgery include overstressing, improper functional exercise or loosening of fixation.
1. Excessive force: After bunion surgery, the distal end of the osteotomy is overstressed, resulting in misalignment, which can usually be repositioned by manipulation.
2. Improper functional exercise: Functional exercise is needed after surgery, but it needs to be gradual and orderly, if the osteotomy has not healed, improper exercise can lead to misalignment.
3. Loose fixation: It is also possible that the fixation may be loosened for some reason and become misaligned. If the misalignment is severe, another surgery may be needed.
After bunion surgery, you should go to the regular hospital regularly for follow-up examination, so as to find out the unexpected situation in time and carry out the necessary functional rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of the doctor.
