Recommendations for Orthopaedic Surgeon/Podiatrist for cheilectomy

[garet]

I've got bone spurs in my toe, and I'm looking for a recommendation for podiatrists or orthopaedic surgeons specialising in foot surgery in Bangkok.

 

If anyone here has had a cheilectomy or big toe fusion, please tell me the doctor, cost, and if the surgery was successful.

 

For anyone wondering, a cheilectomy is a surgery to remove bone spurs (similar to a bunion) from the big toe joint caused by hallux rigidus.

You may wish to consider taking borax before opting for surgery. I'd suggest reading "The Borax Conspiracy", freely available on the internet, and then decide. I can send you food grade borax should you wish.

There is pretty much just ortho surgeon ispeacilaizing in feet Thailand, Dr. Bavornvit. Who is very, very good.

He can be seen at the Foot & Ankle Clinic at Siriraj or privately at either Bumrungrad or Phyathai 3 hospitals. (Details under :contact us" on the website above.)

 

Costs will vary greatly by hospital being highest at Bumrungrad and lowest at Siriraj.

 

Cost will also depend on whether only cheilectomy done or whether it is necessary to perform an osteotomy. Dr. Bavornvit can advise on this as well as give you information as to whether surgery is the best option in your specific case.

Thank you for the recommendation. I met him already and he was very helpful. He even told me I could go meet him at Siriraj, but the wait time for surgery there is around 6 months. I'll also consider Dr Tanawat (the other recommended foot and ankle specialist) in Chiangmai if the wait time is less.
