What are common complications after bunion surgery?

Common complications include: infection (1-5% of cases), delayed wound healing, nerve irritation or numbness, hardware issues (plates or screws loosening), stiffness, recurrence of the bunion, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Most complications are treatable when caught early.

How do I know if I have an infection after bunion surgery?

Signs of infection include: increasing redness, warmth, or swelling beyond the first few weeks; drainage from the incision (especially if foul-smelling or discolored); fever; increased pain that doesn't improve with medication; and cellulitis spreading up the foot or leg. Contact your surgeon immediately if you notice these signs.

Can I get my hardware removed after bunion surgery?

Hardware removal is sometimes possible and sometimes necessary, depending on the type of surgery and any complications. Some hardware is removed routinely (like temporary pins), while other hardware is meant to be permanent. Discuss hardware removal options with your surgeon before surgery.

How can I minimize scarring after bunion surgery?

Minimize scarring by: keeping the incision clean and dry, following dressing changes carefully, avoiding sun exposure to the scar, using scar creams or silicone sheets after clearance from your surgeon, and avoiding smoking (which impairs healing). Most surgical scars significantly fade over 12-18 months.
