Do you do minimally invasive bunion surgery? Currently, bunion surgery in our department is not minimally invasive, it requires an incision, then a bone amputation and a steel pin or nail. How soon can I go down after surgery? The bunion surgery in our department can be attempted on the second day. Can I have a recurrence after surgery? No surgery can be guaranteed to be 100% recurrence-free, but in our experience of over 1500 bunion surgeries, there have been no significant recurrence cases. How long after hospitalization can I have surgery? Do I need to wait? If you have underlying diseases such as hypertension or diabetes, or if there are abnormal test results, you need to consult with the relevant departments to rule out any contraindication to surgery before surgery. After excluding the contraindication to surgery, our department will arrange the surgery in strict order of admission. Therefore, the surgery time after admission varies. Do I need to take out the steel needles in my feet? Generally speaking, steel needles need to be removed, especially for young people, because there is a risk of breaking the steel needles in the body under strenuous activity, and they can cause discomfort in the foot. For older people, if they do not wish to have a second surgery and do not do strenuous activities, they can be left out, depending on their individual situation. Can I be reimbursed for bunion surgery? If admitted with a bunion or metatarsophalangeal arthritis is reimbursable, simple orthopedic surgery is not reimbursable.
