Re: Cheilectomy or fusion and Bunionectomy

As a podiatrist, I should point out that sometimes we look at things differently than an orthopedist does.

Since I can not see your foot or x-rays, I can not say for sure. If your description of this problem is as wrote wrote, fusing this joint would not be my first choice.

I highly recommend you get a copy of your x-rays and get another opinion from a podiatrist.

As far as doing one foot at a time, I believe that is personal preference.
