Minimally Invasive Bunion Repair Offers Less Pain and Faster Recovery

Do you have a painful bunion that prevents you from wearing the shoes you want to wear? You may be a good candidate for minimally invasive bunion surgery. Dr. Neufeld is promoting a new, minimally invasive bunion surgery that he has a lot of experience with and now teaches other surgeons to perform.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

Here are some of the benefits of this new minimally invasive bunion procedure compared to other techniques:

• Outpatient Procedure
• Easier Recovery
• Less Pain
• Less Swelling & Stiffness
• Better Cosmetic Results
• Little Need for Post-op Narcotics (usually Tylenol or Motrin work well for pain control)

Approximately 33% of individuals in shoe-wearing populations have some degree of hallux valgus and the operative correction of a painful hallux valgus deformity is an effective treatment. It is also one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures with estimates of at least 210,000 operations performed in the United States every year. Despite this high number of surgical interventions, there are no clear guidelines or consensus as to which surgical intervention is the best; which one has the best results, which ones lead to the best outcomes and which ones have the least risks of complications.
