Bunion Surgery
Corrects a bunion that rubs and ulcerates, with special care for the diabetic foot, in India.
Bunion surgery for diabetics in India corrects a bunion (a bony bump where the big toe angles inward), which in a diabetic foot rubs against footwear and causes pressure ulcers on the side of the toe, realigning the toe and, with careful attention to healing and circulation, protecting the foot. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is performed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why Bunion Correction Matters in Diabetes
A bunion creates a prominent pressure point that, in a diabetic foot with reduced sensation, can ulcerate and become infected without warning. When footwear changes are not enough, correcting the bunion removes the pressure point. In diabetics, the timing and technique are chosen carefully to protect healing.
What Bunion Surgery Involves
- Assessing the deformity, circulation and skin condition first.
- Realigning the big-toe joint and removing the bony prominence.
- Stabilising the correction so the toe stays straight.
- Relieving the pressure ulcer on the side of the toe.
- Careful wound care and protective footwear afterward.
Who Benefits from Bunion Surgery
- Diabetics with a bunion causing a recurring side-of-toe ulcer.
- Those whose bunion will not fit safely in any footwear.
- People with a painful or worsening big-toe deformity.
- Patients with adequate circulation for safe healing.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, so bunion surgery here is done with diabetic healing and circulation front of mind, not as routine cosmetic correction. It is paired with a footwear assessment to keep the result safe.
What to Expect
Because diabetic wounds heal more slowly, recovery is planned and monitored carefully, with the foot protected while it heals. The corrected toe removes the pressure point that was causing ulcers.
