What To Expect
Following surgery, you do not require the use of crutches, and there are no bulky casts. Generally, no scarring or stitches are visible at the incision site. At Oregon Institute of Foot Care, we not only care about the health of our patients, but also the cosmetic outcome of your surgery. Dr. Manson utilizes plastic surgical techniques for closing the surgical site to avoid visible scarring.
Bunion surgery is always followed with custom orthotics at Oregon Institute of Foot Care. Custom orthotics help to correct the cause of the bunion in the first place and help to prevent the recurrence of the bunion deformity.
