Pediatric Bunion Surgery

Pediatric bunion surgery is a procedure to correct a bunion—a bony bump that develops at the base of a child's big toe, often causing discomfort and deformity. The surgery realigns the bones, joints, and tissues to improve foot function and appearance. It's typically performed under anesthesia and involves removing or reshaping the affected bones and soft tissues. Recovery varies but may include wearing special shoes or bracing. The goal is to relieve pain, correct deformity, and restore normal foot mechanics, helping children walk comfortably and prevent further problems.
