The Cost of Bunion Surgery 2024
- Cost for no screw bunion removal surgery
- Keyhole, no scar
- Walk on the day
When it comes to deciding whether to go ahead with surgery or not, the cost of a private self-pay procedure can be a deciding factor.
Although it is a big part of your surgery decision, we always say that the cost of a procedure should not come before your health and instead, a decision should be made based on what is going to be best for you and who is going to provide you with the best level of care.
The cost of bunion surgery is a difficult one to take in. Yes, bunion surgery is available on the NHS but for many – this could mean weeks to months off work and a lengthy waiting list.
Going privately for bunion surgery means you will potentially be seen a lot sooner and when visiting The Private Clinic, we can offer patients a minimally invasive surgical bunion removal procedure which boasts a quick recovery time and the ability to walk shortly after the procedure takes place.
What is bunion surgery?
Bunion surgery or a bunionectomy is a surgical procedure that corrects a deformity of the joint at the bottom of your big toe which is known as a bunion or hallux valgus.
Previously, a surgical bunion removal treatment involved a significant recovery period where patients were not able to easily walk or take part in any sport or exercise for up to 6 months. This has been a big reason why many who suffer from bunions have tried to avoid surgery.
Many have instead used other treatments and remedies such as bunion pads, insoles, wide shoes, and painkillers. These short-term fixes are ideal for preventing the further development of bunions and relieving pain temporarily, but they are not suitable for treating the bunion and reducing its size – this is something that will always require surgical intervention.
Keyhole bunion surgery with no screws, wires, scar, crutches and walk out of the hospital
- At The Private Clinic, we can offer our patients a minimally invasive surgical bunion removal procedure that has been inspired by keyhole surgery techniques.
- Developed by Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon, Mr Bianchi
- Our bunionectomy procedure can effectively remove bunions from the foot without the use of any fixative devices such as screws, plates, or wires.
- Following surgery, patients can walk immediately with no crutches
- Get back to their everyday activities, with no downtime and a lot quicker than traditional bunion removal surgery.
- Scaring post-procedure is minimal as no z-shaped cut is used.
