Dr. Zwiebel performs a bunionectomy in the ambulatory surgical center using local anesthesia. Through a small incision, he cuts the ligaments that are throwing your toe out of joint and resets the bones to a more anatomical position.
If your bunion is extremely enlarged, he may perform an osteotomy. In this case, he shaves off the excess bone and uses wires and screws to reset your toe.
Untreated bunions only get worse. If you have a bunion, contact Dr. Zwiebel. You can use the online form or call his friendly staff at Park East Podiatry.
