What is a Bunion?

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. Over time, the joint shifts out of place, making the big toe lean inward. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty walking.

Why is the Big Toe Joint Important?

Your big toe joint is key to balance, stability, and walking. Every step you take pushes through this joint. When it's misaligned, it affects how your entire foot moves and can lead to discomfort in other joints like the knees or hips.

What is Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery?

Minimally invasive bunion correction is a cutting-edge approach that realigns the bone through tiny incisions, reducing pain and speeding up recovery. One of the most trusted systems used in this procedure is the:

Stryker Minimally Invasive Bunion System

We proudly use the Stryker system, a leader in advanced surgical technology, designed to:

• Perform precise bone cuts with minimal soft tissue disruption

• Use fluoroscopy-guided imaging for accurate alignment

• Insert low-profile, internal screws for stable fixation

• Require only 2-4 mm incisions — often no stitches needed

The Stryker system has been clinically designed for optimal correction with reduced recovery time and outstanding cosmetic results.

How the Procedure Works:

1. Tiny incisions (2-4 mm) are made around the bunion

2. Using the Stryker burr system, the metatarsal bone is reshaped and repositioned

3. Internal screws are placed using real-time X-ray guidance

4. Incisions are closed with skin adhesive — no large scars or stitches
