It takes about 1 to 3 months to recover from bunion surgery, depending on the extent of the condition, the type of surgery, and the physical condition of the individual. If the degree of bunion is mild, the bunion can be corrected by surgically loosening the soft tissues and adjusting the position of the joint, and recovery will take about 1 to 2 months. If the bunion is more severe, an osteotomy is needed to correct the bunion, and bone healing takes about 3 months. The type of surgery also affects the recovery time. If minimally invasive surgery is used to treat a mild bunion deformity, you will be able to walk on the ground in about 1 week; if osteotomy surgery is used, the recovery time is significantly longer. After bunion surgery, rehabilitation exercises should be carried out under the guidance of the doctor to promote blood circulation in the muscle tissues so as to recover as soon as possible.
