What is minimally invasive bunion surgery?
Minimally invasive bunion surgery is a type of surgery that uses smaller incisions and minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue. This type of surgery often results in less pain, swelling, and scarring compared to traditional bunion surgery. It can also be done on an outpatient basis, which means you won’t have to stay in the hospital.
If you’re considering bunion surgery, ask your podiatrist if minimally invasive surgery is an option for you.
What are the risks of bunion surgery?
As with any type of surgery, there are some risks associated with bunion surgery. These include infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. There is also a risk that the bunion may come back even after surgery. However, this is rare and can usually be avoided by wearing the right shoes and taking care of your feet.
Your podiatrist will be able to go over all of the risks with you before surgery so that you can make an informed decision.
