What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Minimally invasive bunion surgery is a modern technique that focuses on correcting bunion and hammertoes while minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery. Unlike traditional open surgeries, this approach utilizes pin hole incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced imaging technology to precisely realign the affected bones and soft tissues. By reducing trauma to the foot, patients experience less post-operative pain, reduced scarring, and quicker return to their daily activities.

Reduced Pain and Discomfort: The gentle nature of minimally invasive bunion surgery means that patients experience less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure. This also means less need for strong pain medications.
