Doctors who have received specialized training in the Arthrex Minimally Invasive (MIS) Bunionectomy procedure share how it has benefited their patients and improved their approach to bunion surgery.
“To see how happy MIS bunion patients are with their correction and doing it with almost no notable incisions2,5 is very pleasing as a surgeon.”
“The Arthrex Bunionectomy has completely revolutionized my practice, with decreased operating room time,1 minimal recovery for patients,2,3 and improved cosmetic incisions.2 Patients have never been happier and, to be completely transparent, I have never been happier. I am able to do more cases on surgery days and see more patients in the office because their recovery is so quick. I will never go back to open procedures for bunion surgery.”
“Bunion surgery is always approached by patients with a great deal of trepidation. The traditional view has been that such surgery involves a long and incredibly painful recovery. MIS bunion surgery has dramatically changed this, with much less pain2,3 and a much shorter recovery period.2,3 With such a terrific result, I am much more likely to recommend bunion surgery in patients who have a painful deformity that has failed conservative treatment with complete optimism of an excellent result.”
“Patients experience significantly less pain,2,3 swelling,4 stiffness,1 and recovery time2,3 compared to an open approach. My most grateful patients are patients who previously had an open approach on the opposite foot. They have experienced the prolonged recovery associated with an open approach and are pleasantly surprised by the dramatic difference in postoperative recovery following MIS correction.”
“The technique takes maybe half the time of larger, more traditional bunion corrective procedures.1 Clinical correction has been excellent and patient satisfaction very high given the minimal incisions2,5 and shorter recovery times.2,3”
“The primary concerns for my patients when considering bunion surgery are the amount of pain they will be in and the amount of time it will take to get them back in regular shoes, back to work, back to sports, and fully recovered. This procedure ticks all of these boxes in improving the recovery time.2,3”
