Correction, hallux valgus (bunionectomy), with sesamoidectomy, when performed; with distal metatarsal osteotomy, any method
AI EXPLANATION: A bunionectomy is a surgical procedure to correct a bunion, which is a painful bony deformity at the base of the big toe joint. The surgeon realigns the bone by cutting and repositioning the front portion of the long bone leading to the toe, and may also adjust or remove small adjacent bones and surrounding soft tissues to straighten the toe and relieve joint discomfort.
