A bunion is an enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe that forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe joint moves out of place. This forces the toe to bend toward the others, causing a prominent bump of bone that is often painful. Non-surgical treatment options include Padding, Anti-inflammatory Medications, Orthotics, and Changing shoes. If these options do not alleviate symptoms, surgical correction can be considered.
We are now offering MIS (minimally invasive surgery) for bunion correction! MIS bunion surgery is a minimally invasive option for correcting bunions. It offers several advantages over traditional open bunion surgery, including faster recovery and improved cosmetic results.
Benefits:
Smaller incisions and less tissue damage, Reduced pain and swelling, Faster recovery time, and Improved cosmetic appearance.
Candidates:
MIS bunion surgery is suitable for patients with mild to moderate bunions who have not responded to conservative treatments such as orthotics or shoes.
Risks and Complications:
As with any surgery, there are risks and complications associated with MIS bunion surgery, including: Infection, Nerve damage, Recurrence of the bunion, and Joint instability.
Recovery:
Most patients can return to daily activities within a few days after surgery. It is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions for weight-bearing and activity level. Physical therapy may be recommended to improve range of motion and strength.
