Bunions, the bony bumps that develop at the base of the big toe, can cause pain, discomfort, and mobility issues. Traditional bunion surgery, or osteotomy, often requires large incisions, longer recovery times, and potential post-surgical pain. However, advancements in medical technology have introduced keyhole bunion surgery, a minimally invasive procedure that offers faster recovery and reduced discomfort.
What is Keyhole Bunion Surgery?
Keyhole bunion surgery, also known as minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIBS), involves small incisions (typically 3-5 mm) through which specialized surgical instruments are used to correct the bunion. Instead of large cuts, the surgeon makes tiny openings, reducing trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Who is a Candidate for Keyhole Bunion Surgery?
- Individuals with mild to moderate bunions.
- Patients looking for a quicker recovery.
- Those without severe arthritis or joint damage.
Recovery & Aftercare
Post-surgery, patients typically wear a protective shoe and gradually transition back to normal footwear within 4-6 weeks. Swelling may persist for a few months, but significant pain relief is usually felt early in the recovery process.
