Bunionectomy and Hammertoe Repair in Nashua, NH – Restore Comfort and Function to Your Feet
If you’re experiencing persistent foot pain, visible toe deformities, or difficulty walking, you may be suffering from bunions or hammertoes. These are two of the most common foot conditions affecting adults. At Nashua Ambulatory Surgical Center (NASC) in Nashua, NH, we offer expert surgical treatment for bunions and hammertoes, including bunionectomy and hammertoe repair, to help restore your mobility, relieve pain, and get you back on your feet.
What Are Bunions and Hammertoes?
Bunions are bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe, causing the joint to stick out and the toe to drift inward. This can lead to swelling, redness, pain, and difficulty wearing shoes.
Hammertoes occur when one or more of your smaller toes become bent at the middle joint, creating a hammer-like appearance. Over time, hammertoes can become rigid and painful, especially when walking or wearing shoes.
Both conditions can result from genetics, ill-fitting footwear, arthritis, or biomechanical imbalances in the foot.
When Is Surgery Necessary?
Conservative treatments like orthotics, padding, and footwear changes may provide temporary relief, but when pain persists or deformity worsens, surgical correction is often the best solution.
You may be a candidate for surgery if you experience:
- Persistent toe or foot pain
- Difficulty walking or completing daily activities
- Progressive toe deformity
- Limited range of motion in the toes
- Inability to wear normal shoes comfortably
Bunionectomy: What to Expect
A bunionectomy involves removing the bony bump and realigning the bones, tendons, and ligaments around the big toe joint. At NASC, our board-certified foot and ankle surgeons perform several types of bunion correction, including minimally invasive techniques when appropriate.
Benefits of bunion surgery:
- Pain relief and improved toe alignment
- Better shoe fit and comfort
- Enhanced foot appearance
- Improved balance and gait
Hammertoe Repair: Surgical Treatment Options
Surgical repair of hammertoes may include tendon lengthening, joint release, or bone fusion, depending on the severity and flexibility of the toe.
Our team uses the latest techniques to ensure a low-risk, high-success procedure with minimal downtime. Whether it’s one toe or multiple, our surgeons tailor the approach to your specific needs.
Benefits of hammertoe repair:
- Alleviation of pain and pressure
- Straightened toe alignment
