What The Practice Treats

The Bunion Cure evaluates and treats:

Bunions
Minimally invasive bunion surgery candidates
SERI bunionectomy candidates
Hammertoes
Bone spurs
Heel spurs
Revision surgery for bunions
Revision surgery for hammertoes
Related forefoot problems that may be corrected as part of one recovery plan when appropriate

Some patients are best served by surgery. Others may need conservative care, more evaluation, medical optimization, or a different surgical plan. Dr. Sullivan reviews each case individually.

SERI Bunionectomy

One of the core bunion procedures offered through The Bunion Cure is SERI bunionectomy, a minimally invasive bunion correction designed around a smaller incision, local anesthesia in the typical procedure, temporary pin fixation, immediate protected walking, and a practical return-to-shoe plan.

In a SERI bunionectomy, the first metatarsal is cut, shifted into a better position, and held with a temporary pin while the bone heals. The temporary pin is commonly removed around 4 weeks after surgery. Many patients transition to a roomy normal or athletic shoe around that time if swelling allows.

SERI is not just a smaller incision. The procedure is part of a full recovery process that includes protected walking in a post-op shoe, swelling control, follow-up X-rays, pin removal, gait review, and a staged return to activity.

Why Patients Ask About This Approach

Patients often ask about The Bunion Cure because they want to know whether bunion correction can be done with:

A smaller incision
Local anesthesia instead of a traditional anesthesia-heavy operating room approach
Immediate but limited protected walking in a post-op shoe
Temporary fixation rather than permanent hardware in the classic SERI technique
A return to a roomy shoe around 4 weeks if healing and swelling allow
A realistic recovery plan that may coordinate both feet or related forefoot problems when appropriate

Not every patient is a candidate for the same procedure. Arthritis, joint stiffness, circulation problems, nicotine use, uncontrolled diabetes, neuropathy, infection risk, severe instability, revision surgery, and home safety can change the plan.

Typical Recovery Concepts

Recovery is individualized, but The Bunion Cure’s procedure plan is built around immediate but limited protected walking. If a patient could not safely begin limited protected walking after a procedure, that procedure would not be performed here.

The SERI recovery process commonly includes:

Immediate but limited protected walking in a post-op shoe
Extra elevation and activity limits during the first 2 weeks
Gradual activity increase while the pin remains in place
Follow-up X-rays and pin removal around 4 weeks
Transition to a roomy shoe around 4 weeks if swelling allows
Continued improvement through weeks 8 to 12
Higher-impact activity only when cleared

Swelling can affect shoe timing even when bone healing is on track. Patients receive specific instructions based on their procedure and follow-up findings.

Other Procedures

The Bunion Cure also evaluates hammertoe correction, bone spur removal, heel spur removal, revision bunion surgery, and revision hammertoe surgery.

For severe hammertoe cases, the practice may also provide non-amputation hammertoe correction evaluations when a patient has been told elsewhere that amputation may be necessary. The Bunion Cure does not perform amputations; the goal is to evaluate whether correction, reconstruction, or another treatment path can help avoid amputation when medically appropriate.

Medical Safety And Limitations

Foot surgery is still real bone and soft-tissue surgery. Risks may include infection, wound or pin-site irritation, swelling, stiffness, undercorrection, recurrence, overcorrection, delayed healing, nerve symptoms, blood clots, dissatisfaction with appearance, and the need for additional procedures.
