What to do if you have a bunion

Having a foot bunion can be treated in several ways: First, if it is an early and mild bunion, surgery does not need to be considered, but rather conservative treatment can be used. Usually patients can wear orthopedic bands 24 hours a day to completely correct the bunion deformity, and some patients can keep the condition stable. Second, if the bunion deformity is severe, conservative treatment is usually ineffective and most patients need to consider surgery. Surgery can not only correct the force line change of the bones, but also remove the influence of muscles, joint capsule and other factors. Therefore, most patients with severe bunion deformity will be corrected after surgical treatment. However, it is also necessary to avoid early weight-bearing and to combine it with rehabilitation exercises in order to achieve the best results from the surgery.
