What Is Minimally-Invasive Bunion Surgery
Minimally-Invasive Bunion surgery is a modern technique where we make tiny incisions and use small instrumentation in order to gain access to the foot and treat bunion deformities of all sizes. By disrupting as little of the body’s natural tissues as possible, the patient has a faster recovery, minimal scarring and can typically walk the same day as having the procedure.
