The bunionectomy procedure helps to remove or excise the bunions. This is nothing but a painful swelling that is located at the base of the big toe. This procedure helps to restore the proper alignment of toe. It is also done to reduce the joint enlargement caused due to the formation of a new bone.

The reasons for the development of bunions include:

• Hereditary
• Congenital deformities
• Arthritis
• Nerve or muscle disorders in the foot
