    How soon after my surgery can I go back to work and participate in sports?

    Once you are back on your feet, it really depends on how you feel as far as engaging in sports, but most patients are able to do normal daily activities, including participating in sports, within a month after surgery.

  • Can bunions be corrected?

    Can bunions be corrected?

    However, if a bunion gets progressively worse, then surgery is likely to be the only option. Traditional bunion surgery leaves scars on the outside of the foot and scar tissue inside the foot, which results in more pain and swelling. There may also be a loss of range of motion for the big toe, which requires physical therapy.

    Fortunately, Dr. K's AMI-BUNION® bunion surgery uses a much smaller incision than traditional bunion surgery. This means no scarring on the outside of the foot and very little, if any, scar tissue inside the foot. Dr. K's patients normally experience far less swelling and pain than people who have traditional bunion surgery.
