Bunion Surgery Houston: What Works (and What Doesn't)Bunion surgery has a 70% failure rate. Not 70% of the time — 70% of traditional bunion procedures result in the bunion growing back. If you're researching bunion surgery in Houston Texas right now, that number matters more than anything else a surgeon's website is going to tell you. If you've been living with a painful bunion — maybe you tried the wide shoes, the pads, the cortisone shots — and you're sitting here wondering whether surgery is the answer, you've probably read a dozen pages that make this sound either terrifying or completely routine. Neither felt quite right. That decision is real, and it deserves a real answer. As a Houston podiatrist who has treated thousands of bunion cases over 25 years, I've had this conversation with people from the Galleria, River Oaks, and the Texas Medical Center area — all with different severities, different histories, and different fears about what comes next. What I've learned is that the biggest mistake in bunion care isn't doing too little or too much. It's making a permanent decision without understanding all the options between "live with it" and "schedule the surgery." In this guide I'm going to walk you through exactly how bunion surgery decisions get made in this practice: what conservative care can actually accomplish, where regenerative medicine fits in, and how to know when surgery is the right call — and which procedure gives you the best shot at never needing it again.Houston podiatrist Dr. Andrew Schneider explains bunion surgery options, Lapiplasty, and why 70% of traditional procedures fail.
