Can bunions be operated on?

Mild bunions usually do not require surgery and can be gradually repaired with orthopedic brace fixation, and the patient’s clinical symptoms will be gradually relieved. 2. For moderate bunions or above, conservative treatment is not effective and the condition will continue to worsen. Surgery can be considered at this time to restore the force line of the bunion and reduce the pain and deformity caused by the bunion through overlapping sutures of the medial joint capsule, cutting off the bunion muscle, wedge osteotomy and other treatments, which is extremely beneficial to the patient’s recovery. Therefore bunion patients can consider surgical treatment in severe cases to achieve better treatment results, while in early stages they can first recover using conservative treatment.
