At Advanced Footcare, we understand that bunions can be a painful and frustrating condition, often affecting your ability to walk, exercise, and enjoy daily life.
That’s why we’re proud to offer the latest in cutting-edge treatment options, including minimally invasive bunion surgery techniques like Bunionplasty® and the Arthrex Bunionectomy. These innovative procedures are redefining the way we approach bunion correction—
What is a Bunion and Why Treat It?
A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. Over time, the toe deviates towards the others, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty finding comfortable footwear. Bunions can be caused by genetics, improper footwear, or biomechanical imbalances in the foot.
If left untreated, bunions can worsen, leading to chronic pain, joint damage, and even arthritis. While conservative treatments like orthotics or shoe changes may help early on, moderate to severe bunions often require surgical correction.
Enter Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive bunion surgery offers a highly effective alternative to traditional open procedures, which often involve large incisions, extensive bone cutting, and longer recovery periods. Instead, procedures like Bunionplasty® and the Arthrex Bunionectomy use small incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced imaging to correct the deformity with precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
What is Bunionplasty®?
Developed by leading foot surgeons, Bunionplasty® is a cosmetic and functional bunion correction technique that emphasizes both anatomical alignment and aesthetic results. Unlike traditional surgeries that often leave noticeable scars, Bunionplasty® uses hidden incisions and microsurgical techniques to realign the bones without compromising the appearance of the foot.
Key benefits include:
-
Minimal scarring
-
Immediate weight-bearing in most cases
-
Faster return to normal activities
-
Reduced postoperative pain and swelling
What is the Arthrex Bunionectomy?
The Arthrex Bunionectomy is a state-of-the-art procedure utilizing the Arthrex MIS (minimally invasive surgery) system, which allows for precise correction through tiny incisions. This method involves realigning the metatarsal bone using specialized burrs and implants that offer stability while the bone heals naturally.
Benefits of the Arthrex Bunionectomy include:
-
Smaller incisions with less soft tissue disruption
-
Shorter surgical time and recovery period
-
Lower risk of complications
-
Quicker rehabilitation and return to shoes
