Am I a Candidate for MIS Bunion Surgery?

Factors that determine whether minimally invasive bunion surgery is right for you.

Good Candidates for MIS

MIS bunion surgery may be appropriate if you have:

  • Mild to moderate bunion deformity
  • Pain that has not responded to conservative treatment
  • Good bone quality and density
  • No significant arthritis in the big toe joint
  • Realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery

Factors That May Require Traditional Surgery

  • Severe bunion deformity with large angular displacement
  • Significant arthritis
  • Poor bone quality or osteoporosis
  • Previous bunion surgery
  • Complex deformity involving multiple joints

The Evaluation Process

During your consultation, our podiatrist will examine your foot, review X-rays, and discuss your symptoms and goals. Based on this evaluation, we will recommend the most appropriate surgical approach for your situation.

Schedule Your Evaluation

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for MIS bunion surgery is through a thorough evaluation with one of our podiatrists.
