Bunion removal is surgery to treat deformity of the big toe and foot bones. A bunion is formed when the big toe is pointed at the second toe. This causes a bump to appear on the inner edge of the foot.

Description
You will be given anesthesia (numbing medicine) so that you will not feel pain.

Local anesthesia - Your foot may be numb from the numbing medicine. You may also be given medicine to relax. You will be awake during the procedure.

Spinal anesthesia - also called local anesthesia. The numbing medicine is injected into a space in the spinal cord. You will stay awake but will be insensitive from the waist down.

General anesthesia - you will be asleep and pain-free.

The surgeon makes a cut around the toe joint and bones. Then, repair the deformed joint and bones using nails, screws, plates, or a cast splint to hold the bones in place.
