Because bunions vary in shape and size, there are different surgical procedures performed to correct them. In most cases, bunion surgery includes correcting the alignment of the bone and repairing the soft tissues around the big or small toe in order to relieve pain. Procedures include simple bunionectomy, cheilectomy, Tailor’s bunion, Keller bunionectomy and Lapidus bunionectomy.
