Bunion surgery is to treat a deformation in the foot which looks as though the there is a lump on the foot that may sometimes hurt when the severity is high enough. There are no life threatening complications but If hardware is implanted into the foot, he could face irritation in that area due to activity nudging the piece of hardware. The joint may also seem to feel more stiff than usual which may be caused by the operation itself or by the failure to follow instructions during the recovery period. An infection can occur in less than 1% of patients but this can be easily treated with oral antibiotics and be fully cured.
