Risks and complications

•  Numbness over the big toe
•  Wound breakdown
•  Recurrence of deformity
•  Chronic foot pain
•  Foot deformity
•  Stiff foot
•  Hallux varus (occurs with surgical over-correction, where the toe points away from the second toe)

 

Recovery and care

The patient is advised to keep the foot propped up and protected from pressure, weight, and injury while it heals. A patient can expect a 6- to 8-week recovery period during which crutches are usually required for aid in mobility.

 

Outlook

The outlook depends on your age and activities, and the severity of the bunion. Most people recover completely from the surgery though teenagers may have more trouble treating a bunion than adults. Many adults do well by caring for the bunion when it first starts to develop, and wearing different shoes.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
