Which procedure describes bunion surgery?
A
Hallux Rigidus Correction with implant
B
Hallux Valgus Correction with proximal phalanx base resection
C
Hallux Rigidus
D
Capsulotomy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chevron osteotomy: Hallux valgus surgery of the metatarsal bone for mild hallux valgus deformities. The Chevron osteotomy is suitable for moderate hallux misalignments. Applying the Chevron method requires arthritis in the metatarsophalangeal joint to be no more than moderate.

Detailed explanation-2: -This operation is for painful or severely deformed bunions. It involves shaving the prominent bone and realigning the bones with an osteotomy (cut) of the metatarsal combined with a repair of the joint capsule and ligaments. This will produce a narrow foot and a straighter hallux (big toe).

Detailed explanation-3: -In hallux valgus surgery, a proximal or distal metatarsal osteotomy often is used, and in hallux rigidus, a cheilectomy usually is added. The advantage of a proximal phalanx osteotomy is that it enables an extra-articular correction, which avoids breaching the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Exostectomy: During this surgery, your surgeon shaves off the bunion. Osteotomy: Your surgeon makes a few small incisions in the bones. Arthrodesis: Sometimes, arthritis inflammation can lead to bunions. 16-Apr-2021
