Corrective Same-day Foot Surgery Available For Bunion Removal

By Herald Staff

Many people suffer with foot deformities and pain needlessly because of fear or lack of knowl-edge and understanding about corrective foot surgery. Dr. Birk has combined new tech-niques along with safe anesthesia and effective pain management to per-form bunion removals.
Hallux Valgus often re-ferred to as a bunion, is a deformity of the big toe. The big toe tilts over towards the smaller toes and a bony lump appears on the inside of the foot.
Many people wonder if bunions are hereditary. Bunions tend to run in families, but that does not mean that if you have a bunion, your children will inevitably have one too. Bunions are actually more common in people with unusually flexible joints, and this can be hereditary.
Research shows that 85 percent of people who have bunion corrections are satisfied with the results. Dr. Birk per-forms most procedures in the same day surgery sec-tion of a hospital and with very little exception patients can walk nor-mally with full-weight, the day of surgery.
Dr. Charles Birk is a Diplomate, American Board of Podiatric Sur-gery, a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and Board Certified in Foot Surgery. To learn more about Bunion Removal surgery, or other foot-related problems includ-ing foot and ankle ortho-pedic injuries, call 465-1644.
