Lapidus type procedures are a great choice for severe bunions, but no surgeon should ever tell you that they never return. We have performed many revisions on these. Recurrences happen to all surgeons at some point because each patient, surgeon, and procedure add different variables that can result in unpredictability. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the surgeon faulted, or that the patient wasn’t following instructions. Surgeons are trained to do the procedure they think is best for that particular patient and that typically gives a good consistent result. We operate on the assumption that a patient’s anatomy is normal and will heal predictably. Patients are asked to follow all post operative instructions to help support the procedure that was chosen for them. Even if all factors are working together with their full potential, the result might not be as good as we hoped. Despite this, medicine and surgery continue to help people much more often than hurt them and this is why it continues to be done!

When the bunion is this bad it not only makes it harder and more involved to correct, but we unfortunately have to ask the patient to use a knee scooter or crutches for around 3 weeks. This is one of the reasons waiting until your foot looks like this is not always the best option. Whether or not you do wait that long… we will be here to help!

If there is surgery there is swelling! It isn’t always a bad thing. It is part of the normal healing process after having foot surgery. We help our patients manage it with anti inflammatories, instructing them to ice and elevate, PRP, and laser therapy. It is their job to stay off their foot as much as possible! Patience is a virtue when it comes to the foot, as it does take a while to go away. But it’s worth it when it does! For more information or consultation, please reach out through our website.

Swelling is the body’s natural inflammatory response to surgery, and a necessary evil. If a foot swells a lot like the one above it might be uncomfortable, but it’s not necessarily a bad sign. With some time and patience the foot will deflate into the beautiful result we are looking for.

Can you believe this patient looked this good three months after having BOTH sides of her feet fixed?! I can’t either. Patients like her are allowed to weight bear immediately and can return to full activity as soon as 8 weeks. In general the cosmetic result takes 6 months to a year but some genetically people get to look this good much faster.

Split toes is usually caused by injury to the plantar plate. The plantar plate is a ligament that runs on the bottom of the toe that can tear and rupture from injury or overuse. Some surgeons elect to repair the plantar plate, some surgeons shorten the second metatarsal, and some do both to correct the problem. On most occasions we are able to get the correction we need and patient satisfaction from shortening the second metatarsal alone. Pain in the ball of the foot without splitting of the toes is usually referred to as metatarsalgia, and corrected in the same way. Morton’s neuroma can also cause pain in the ball of the foot, and can occur at the same time as these other issues.
