Bunion - August 2022
A 64-year-old patient with a big toe deformity came with forefoot pain, difficulty putting on shoes, and overlapping of the big toe and second toe.
Before surgery
Preoperative photos show a significant deformity of the big toe with a crossover with the second toe.
At the same time, the patient reports pain in the forefoot, difficulty walking, and a feeling of pressure in the shoe.
1 week after surgery
We performed the correction of the bunion using a minimally invasive surgical technique using skin punctures and mini-incisions. The surgery was performed without standard surgical incisions. The photo shows the postoperative swelling of the forefoot one week after the surgery.
Compared to conventional open surgical techniques, postoperative pain and swelling are significantly reduced. The patient is walking without crutches 4 weeks after surgery.
3 months after surgery
The result of the surgery is visible in the photos 3 months after surgery and 5 months after surgery.
