I have a patient, 47 y/o w/f with hx of herniated lumbar discs but otherwise in good health. She has a painful bunion of a few years duration but getting progressively worse. Radiograph shows 1st IM=10 degrees, MAA=22 degrees, HAA=35 degrees, tibial sesamoid position around 5. She also has some restriction of motion at !st MPJ with pain on end range dorsiflection

She has a relatively short window of time that she has for recovery/rehab. She is also a smoker. For these reasons I'm considering an Austin/Youngswick type procedure (hopefully quicker time to recovery and no need for immobilization). She's aware that this may not fully correct the problem.
My question has to do with fibular sesamoidectomy. It's been a long time since I removed a fibular sesamoid but I was considering it now to help reduce the HAA. Is there any consensus on sesamoidectomy vs. aggresive lateral release?
Any advice would be appreciated. Feel free to comment on any other aspect of my thought process regarding this case.
Thanks in advance.
