Saddle bone : Deformity is a rather old or colloquial name. The procedure is relatively safe. Many factors go into cost including where one lives, if procedure is done in an office or hospital, if there is anesthesiologist present or if being done under local anesthesia etc. Having insurance will keep costs down.

Accepted Answer

Their are many: Procedures for bunions with met adductus vary for the individual. It depends on how much deformity there is, how much motion to 1st metatarsal or hypermobility is present and others so without seeing your x-rays and foot it is difficult to say.
