Who Is a Good Candidate for Bunion Correction Surgery?

Many patients try conservative treatments like shoe modifications, padding, or orthotics first. Surgery is typically considered when those options no longer provide relief.

Dr. Dodson, Dr. Krejci-Reed, or Dr. Ternent will evaluate your symptoms, foot structure, and lifestyle to determine the best approach for long-term relief and improved function.

Contact Prairie Orthopaedic & Plastic Surgery to schedule your consultation today.
