Bunion surgery Mexico - Procedure
Bunions are bone deformities and surgical approach is the only way to correct them. They may or may not be painful, may get bigger with time; but they definitely don’t get smaller. But not everyone with bunions need go for surgery; it’s when the bunion is causing you pain, discomfort, or making it difficult for you to do what you need to or want to do, that you should consider surgery for the bunion (also known as Hallux Valgus) in Mexico.
The bunion correction procedure itself depends on the type of bunion, whether it’s a repeat bunion, the age of the patient and other conditions that the patient may have like arthritis. Hence, there are various types of bunionectomies like Austin, Reverdin-Green, Kalish-Austin etc., named after surgeons who specialized on a particular ‘bone cut’.
The bone that is jutting out is sawed and re-aligned. In some types of bunion surgery, screws and plates are used to hold the surface together until healing is complete.
Precautions to be taken after Bunionectomy in Mexico
Though bunion surgery is an outpatient procedure (that is, usually no stay at the hospital is required), it will take considerable time for the bone joint to completely heal.
You will not be able to wear a shoe for at least 2-3 months, which is the time required for the bone to heal. It is recommended that you follow the routine of physiotherapy, which will help you get on your feet faster.
Your Mexico foot surgeon will be able to tell you when you can get back to work and routine activity.
Low Cost Bunion Surgery in Mexico
Hallux Valgus surgery in Mexico saves you about 40-50% of what you would ordinarily spend in the US or Canada. And they come with no waiting lines, too.
Insurance usually covers bunion surgeries but if you are not insured or under-insured or for some reason your insurance plan doesn’t cover it, you could be paying a hefty sum out of your own pocket. Hence, low cost bunion surgery in Mexico makes sense in more ways than one.
