If you’re struggling with a painful bunion that’s affecting your daily life, consult Dr Fariwar Bagheri for Beunion or Hallux valgus surgery treatment in Dubai at his clinic. Hallux valgus—commonly known as a bunion—is a progressive foot deformity that leads to the misalignment of the big toe, often creating a visible bump on the side of the foot. This condition is particularly common among women and tends to worsen with age, tight footwear, or genetic predisposition. 

 

Causes of Hallux Valgus

Hallux valgus doesn’t have a single cause—it often develops over time due to a combination of factors such as:

 

    • Abnormal walking patterns
    • Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes
    • Joint hypermobility
    • Genetic predisposition
    • Inflammatory joint conditions like arthritis

Recognizing the Symptoms of a Bunion

 

Many patients come to us complaining of:

 

  • Pain, swelling, and redness around the big toe
  • Numbness or burning sensation
  • Visible bump at the joint
  • Hammertoes or overlapping toes
  • Discomfort while walking or bending the toe

Early detection is key. If left untreated, the deformity can progress and lead to serious complications, including joint degeneration and chronic pain.

Test and Clinical Diagnosis of Hallux Valgus

 

At our Dubai clinic, bunions are typically diagnosed through a physical examination and confirmed with X-rays. The lateral deviation of the big toe is usually the most prominent sign. Our orthopedic team, led by Dr. Farivar Bagheri, performs a thorough evaluation to determine the severity and best course of treatment—whether it’s non-surgical management or advanced bunion removal surgery in Dubai.

Complications of Hallux Valgus

 

Hallux valgus (bunion) can lead to various painful conditions around the first MTP joint, including:

  • Inflamed medial bursa
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Hammertoe deformity of the second toe
  • Pain in the metatarsal bones
  • Cartilage degeneration
  • Synovitis

Effective Bunion Treatment and Hallux Valgus Surgery

Effectiveness of the treatment depends on the severity of the Beunion issue. Dr Fariwar Bagheri offers two types of treatments

 

  1. Conservative Management or Non surgical Treatment: typically include custom orthotics, toe spacers, and bunion splints, along with pain relief and anti-inflammatory therapies. These approaches are generally recommended for mild cases or to provide temporary relief by reducing discomfort, improving alignment, and preventing further progression of the condition
  2. Surgical Options: For severe or persistent bunions, surgery may offer the best long-term relief. Dr. Farivar specializes in minimally invasive bunion surgery for quicker recovery and less scarring, Lapidus Bunionectomy for patients with hypermobility or advanced deformities, and severe bunion correction surgery for restoring proper foot alignment and relieving chronic pain.

Whether you’re walking into surgery for cosmetic reasons or because of disabling pain, our goal is to restore the natural function and alignment of your foo

Recovery and Care Post Hallux Valgus Surgery

Recovery from bunion removal surgery in Dubai depends on the type of procedure performed. Most patients can walk with special shoes within a few days and resume normal activities in a few weeks. The goal is a functional recovery with a normal range of valgus angulation at the MTP joint. With Dr. Farivar’s expertise and our comprehensive aftercare, you’re never alone in your recovery journey.
