Getting keyhole bunion surgery (also known as minimally invasive bunion surgery) is a popular choice for those looking to correct bunions with less scarring, faster recovery, and minimal pain compared to traditional open surgery. Here's what you can expect from start to finish.
Before the Surgery
1. Consultation with an Orthopaedic Surgeon - X-rays will be taken to assess the severity of the bunion.The surgeon will evaluate if you're a good candidate for keyhole surgery (it's usually best for mild to moderate bunions).
2. Pre-surgical Preparation - Blood tests and general health checks might be done.You may be asked to stop certain medications (like blood thinners).
During the Surgery
Procedure Time - Usually 30 to 60 minutes.
Anaesthesia - Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
Technique - Small incisions (about 2-3mm) are made, and a special burr is used to shave and realign the bone.
