Bunion is a common condition affecting the big toe causing difficulties in wearing
shoes. There are various remedies available such as bunion pads, paracetamol and
wearing wide shoes. Some of these treatment remedies prevent the development of
bunions and relieve some pain, but they are unable to treat the bunion and reduce its
size.
We are excited to be able to offer a minimally invasive bunion removal surgical
procedure that has been inspired by keyhole surgery techniques. After the treatment
patients are able to walk immediately with no crutches and get back to their everyday
activities much quicker than traditional bunion removal surgery. The scaring post-
procedure and risk of infection is also minimal.
The other advantages of keyhole surgery are
Less damage to tissues
Less chance of infection
Minimal scarring (no stitches needed)
Less joint stiffness
Day case surgery
Quicker recovery time
Faster return to work and normal activities
