Select right surgeon: Bunion surgery success depends on a variety of factors: severity of deformity, quality of the repair and patient compliance. It also depends on the patient's perception of success. Surgery will not make the foot normal, it can make the foot much better. The goal is to relieve symptoms and improve function. Most do extremely well. Iselect a good foot surgeon visit acfas.Org. Dr.
