If you have a painful bunion and have already tried to settle your symptoms without surgery, you may wish to consider an operation.

Mr Dawe performs bunion surgery as a day case procedure (you are admitted for a few hours to undergo surgery).

After surgery you will not need plaster cast or a boot.

If both feet are problematic he can do surgery on both feet at the same sitting.

You will have a special shoe with dressings for 6 weeks after the operation.

You will be safe to walk on the foot from the day of surgery.

You will need to avoid heavy work, heavy lifting or running for three months after surgery.
