You have been putting off bunion surgery because of what you have heard about the recovery. Or a surgeon quoted you a procedure you are not sure you actually need. Before you make any decision, you need to hear what most surgeons are not going to tell you in a standard consultation.

In this episode, I am going to break down the five biggest myths about bunion surgery that are keeping people stuck in pain and getting steered into procedures they may not need.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Q: Is bunion surgery a painful procedure with a long recovery?
A: With minimal incision bunion surgery, most patients are walking the same day or the next day without crutches or a cast. The long recovery narrative comes from traditional open surgery with large hardware, not from the minimally invasive approach most patients today are actually candidates for.

Q: Do I really need the Lapidus or Lapiplasty procedure for my bunion?
A: Not necessarily. Many patients who are told they need a Lapidus-type procedure are candidates for minimal incision surgery, which uses a single small screw and avoids fusing the joint entirely. Getting a second opinion from a surgeon who performs both options is the best way to know which one applies to you.

Q: When is the right time to have bunion surgery?
A: Waiting until the pain is unbearable is not the right call. Once a bunion starts affecting your shoes, your gait, or your daily activities, an evaluation makes sense. Waiting longer can increase the complexity of the correction and, in some cases, the recovery.
