Depends: Depending on the procedure(s) selected by the operating surgeon to correct the biomechanical features of the bunion as well as the experience of the surgeon can change the length of the procedure dramatically. Discuss this with your operating surgeon.

It can vary. : Depending on the procedure, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes from first cut to finishing the bandage application all the way up to 2 hrs if it's in conjunction with other procedures, or involves a joint fusion or other reconstruction. Also take into account the time doing paperwork, checking in, meeting your anesthesiologist, and afterward in the recovery room. This all adds up to several hrs.
