5 Signs You Need Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery (MIS) is a modern surgical technique used to correct bunions (hallux valgus) with smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.Here are 5 signs you may need minimally invasive bunion surgery.

1. Persistent Pain That Affects Daily Life - If your bunion causes constant or severe pain that interferes with walking, standing, or wearing shoes—even after trying conservative treatments—surgery may be necessary.
2. Difficulty Wearing Normal Footwear - When wide or cushioned shoes no longer provide relief, or if bunion pain prevents you from wearing any regular footwear comfortably, it's a sign the deformity may require surgical correction.
3. Progressive Worsening of the Bunion - If your bunion continues to grow or shift the big toe inward despite non-surgical care, it suggests the condition is progressing and may require surgical intervention to prevent further joint damage.
4. Limited Toe Mobility - Restricted movement in the big toe joint (stiffness or locking) is a sign of joint degeneration. Minimally invasive surgery can realign the joint and restore mobility before arthritis sets in.
5. Failed Conservative Treatments - When remedies like orthotics, toe spacers, anti-inflammatory medications, or physical therapy no longer relieve your symptoms, it may be time to explore surgical options.
