There's good news for anyone weighing the pros and cons of bunion surgery.  More than 90 percent of patients who had the procedure done say they experienced significant pain relief, increased their physical activity, and would recommend the procedure to others, according to the findings of a multi-state patient satisfaction survey conducted by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS). The patients surveyed had surgery performed by a podiatric foot and ankle surgeon to correct mild, moderate or severe bunions within the past 6 to 24 months.
