Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery (MIS) in Pearl River, NY

Bunion foot health issues are one of the most common foot health issues we see at River Podiatry. There are approximately 100+ different types of bunion procedures depending on the severity and type of bunion a patient has. So it is very important to pick the right combination of procedures to get the correction you desire.

Bunions can progressively worsen, making shoes uncomfortable and limiting walking, exercise and everyday activities. When nonsurgical treatment no longer provides adequate relief, surgical correction may be appropriate.

Modern minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIS) allows smaller incisions and facilitates easier recovery for patients. Most importantly, the patient can put weight on the foot immediately after surgery.

A patient must be the right candidate for MIS. The advantages of MIS include the following:

• tiny incisions: the surgery does not disturb the intact structures around the bone.

• decreased swelling

• decreased post-operative pain
