Bunion Surgery With Tiny Incisions and Weight-Bearing Day One

Weight-Bearing Day One
Tiny Incisions, Faster Healing
Under 1% Recurrence

Our Approach To Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

Traditional bunion surgery means a five or six inch incision, weeks of non-weight-bearing, and months before you are back in a normal shoe, with a recurrence rate that can climb high over time. We correct the same deformity, even the worst bunions, through tiny incisions. Most patients are weight-bearing the same day, the incisions heal in about a week to ten days, and they are back in a shoe in a few weeks. Recurrence with our approach is under 1%, and most patients take no pain medication at all. Same correction, far faster and safer recovery.
