Podiatry Surgical Consent Form for Bunion Correction

Podiatry practices need clear, comprehensive consent documentation for bunion correction surgeries. This bunion surgery consent form template streamlines the surgical consent process while ensuring patients understand the procedure, risks, recovery expectations, and post-operative care requirements.

Bunion correction (hallux valgus correction) is one of the most common podiatric surgical procedures, and proper informed consent is essential for patient safety and practice liability protection. This template captures all necessary elements including patient medical history, procedure-specific details, anesthesia options, weight-bearing restrictions, and footwear recommendations that are critical to successful recovery.

Built with Paperform, this podiatry consent form includes conditional logic to show relevant follow-up questions based on anesthesia type and procedure complexity. The professional, easy-to-read format helps patients understand what they're consenting to, while the structured data collection ensures your practice maintains complete records.

Healthcare providers can customize this template to match their specific surgical protocols, add their practice branding, and integrate with their patient management systems. Use Papersign (papersign.com) to collect secure electronic signatures on the completed consent form, creating a legally binding document with a complete audit trail. Then connect to Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically trigger post-consent workflows—scheduling pre-op appointments, sending preparation instructions to patients, or updating your EMR system.

This form is ideal for podiatrists, foot and ankle surgeons, orthopedic specialists, and surgical centers performing bunion corrections and other podiatric procedures. While Paperform provides robust security and compliance features, please note that Paperform is not a HIPAA-compliant solution, so consider your specific compliance requirements when handling protected health information.
