Dr Foot's Recommended Links The links below are products that Dr Foot has independently reviewed and recommends.
The world famous cure for arthritis If a friend, relative or yourself suffers from arthritis then this page is definitely worth visiting. Ads Before bed, slip on our Bunion Night Splint.
The plastic brace straps your toe firmly in position while soft
foam soothes the tender area to correct the bunion. Silicone daytime bunion protector is a simple and highly effective design that accommodates the bunion and bursa as if in a cradle.

Types of Bunion Surgery
Orthopaedic or podiatric surgeons use many different surgical procedures to treat bunions. The common goal of these procedures is to realign the joint, relieve pain, and correct deformity. These procedures include:
Repair of the Tendons and Ligaments Around the Big Toe
These tissues may be too tight on one side and too loose on the other,
creating an imbalance that causes the big toe to drift toward the others.
Often combined with an osteotomy, this procedure shortens the loose
tissues and lengthens the tight ones.
Arthrodesis Removal of the damaged
joint surfaces, followed by the insertion of screws, wires, or plates
to hold the surfaces together until it heals. Used for patients with
severe bunions, severe arthritis, and when other procedures have failed.
Exostectomy Removal of the bump on
the toe joint; used only for an enlargement of the bone with no drifting
of the big toe. This procedure is seldom used because it rarely corrects
the cause of the bunion.
Resection Arthroplasty Removal of
the damaged portion of the joint, used mainly for patients who are older,
have had previous bunion surgery, or have severe arthritis. This creates
a flexible "scar" joint.
Osteotomy The surgical cutting and realignment of the joint. Your orthopaedic surgeon will choose the procedure best suited to your condition.
Dr Foot Recommends
Review: Bunions can be an embarrassing, painful and hard to treat condition. Our bunion products range treat every aspect of a bunion. Bunion night splints correct a bunion while you sleep and can prevent the need for bunion surgery. Insoles and orthotics correct the bunion while you walk. Our silicone product range give instant relief for painful bunions by reducing friction and irritation between adjacent toes and aligning your big toe. They also absorb pressure on the bunion joint and prevent rubbing against the shoe.
