bunion surgery optionDo you have bunions? A bunion is a bony “bump” that appears at the joint where the big toe meets the foot. These progressive deformities can have numerous causes, including a foot that flattens too much, poorly-fitting shoes, joint damage, arthritis, and genetics. Bunions are more than unsightly; they can be extremely painful and make standing and walking more difficult. Though wider shoes, custom-made inserts, bunions shields, corticosteroid injections, and other conservative methods can help minimize pain and discomfort, surgery is the only way to correct the deformity permanently. 

If you think bunion correction surgery means subjecting yourself to a painful procedure with a lengthy recovery period, think again. 

At Khosroabadi Institute, renowned foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Alireza Khosroabadi, DPM, known as Dr. K, uses his proprietary AMI-BUNION® surgical technique to help patients get back on their feet faster and with less pain.
