Introduction: Bunions (Hallux Valgus) are usually treated conservatively, but advanced cases ultimately require surgical correction. Rarely, severe presentations of bunions may result in secondary problems such as joint dislocation (subluxation) or metatarsophalangeal fracture that may require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In such cases, pain after surgery may be more extreme and prolonged than usual operations. These situations often require innovative multimodal pain strategies.
