The correction of hallux valgus (bunion) and its associated digital deformities represents a significant clinical issue, primarily affecting women.
Patients typically experience pain, difficulty walking, and inability to wear shoes comfortably, leading to a marked reduction in their quality of life.
Today, a permanent solution can be achieved through minimally invasive techniques, without postoperative pain and without the need for prolonged bed rest. Patients are able to walk on the same day of the procedure.
A specialized orthopedic surgeon with expertise in forefoot pathologies applies a wide range of minimally invasive surgical techniques, covering the entire spectrum of bunion deformities and their variations.Because no single technique is sufficient for all cases—as each deformity presents unique characteristics—different surgical methods or combinations thereof are applied on a case-by-case basis.These may include correction of:Hallux valgus (bunion),Bunionette deformity (tailor’s bunion),Hammer toe deformity and Metatarsalgia
