Sorry I didn't know where to post this one...
I was wondering if any dancers have ever had bunion surgery and continued on with their professional careers. My podiatrist really wants me to consider having it because the one on my left foot is so severe it has caused a stress fracture in my 3rd metatarsal due to the added stress on the bone/joint. The way he does it though, is not the pins and screws and break the bone technique (which I know is nearly impossible to dance on afterwards). He does a "minimal incision modified silver akin bunionectomy", which seems more moderate than the traditional version. I was just wondering if anyone knows anyone who has had this done to see if your feet go back to normal (pointed/arch-wise), you can dance in pointe shoes, etc.
Thanks!
