Bunions are one of the most common and painful foot deformities, caused by a misalignment at the base of the big toe. They can make walking difficult, cause shoe irritation, and worsen over time if left untreated.
At the Orange County Foot & Ankle Institute, we offer state-of-the-art minimally invasive bunion surgery designed to realign the joint with precision while reducing the discomfort and recovery time traditionally associated with open surgery.
Key Benefits of Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery:
-
✅ Tiny incisions (2–3mm) rather than large cuts
-
✅ Less soft tissue trauma and faster healing
-
✅ Significantly reduced post-operative pain
-
✅ Minimal scarring and better cosmetic outcomes
-
✅ Ability to walk shortly after surgery in most cases
Our Approach
Using fluoroscopy (real-time imaging) and specialized instruments, our podiatrists are able to precisely cut and reposition the bone, correcting the alignment of the big toe. By limiting disruption to muscles and ligaments, patients enjoy quicker recovery and earlier return to activity.
Why Choose Us?
Our surgeons have extensive experience in minimally invasive bunion correction, offering customized care for mild to severe deformities. Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy and lifestyle needs, ensuring the best possible functional and cosmetic outcome.
