5 Measures of minimally invasive bunion surgery - Geylang

Minimally invasive bunion surgery offers a less invasive approach to treating bunions, reducing recovery time and post-operative discomfort. Here are five key measures or approaches used in minimally invasive bunion surgery.

1. Small Incisions - Unlike traditional surgery, minimally invasive bunion surgery involves very small incisions, usually around 2-3 millimeters. These smaller incisions result in less trauma to the surrounding tissue, muscles, and skin, promoting faster healing and reduced scarring.
2. Realignment of the Bone - Surgeons use specialized instruments to realign the bones of the big toe joint without large open surgery. By making small cuts in the bone (osteotomy), the surgeon can reposition the misaligned bone, correcting the bunion while maintaining joint stability.
3. Percutaneous Techniques - This method involves inserting surgical tools through tiny incisions. The surgeon reshapes the bones and removes any protruding bone fragments with minimal tissue damage.
4. Use of X-ray Guidance (Fluoroscopy) - Surgeons often use live X-ray (fluoroscopy) guidance during the procedure to ensure precise bone realignment and positioning. This allows for better accuracy without needing large incisions to visually inspect the area.
5. Faster Recovery and Reduced Pain - Minimally invasive bunion surgery typically leads to faster recovery compared to traditional methods. Patients often experience less post-operative pain, less swelling, and a quicker return to normal activities.

These measures make non-invasive bunion surgery a preferred option for those seeking a quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
