Correcting a bunion without an incision. This is a surgical procedure that involves making 3 to 5 small 2–3 mm punctures without an incision, and correcting the deformed bone while monitoring it with real-time fluoroscopy. Compared to open surgery, recovery is faster and it leaves almost no scarring.

Recommended for
- For those experiencing severe pain due to the big toe deviating inward and the inner ball of the foot protruding.
- In severe cases, patients may find it difficult not only to walk but even to wear shoes due to the pain.
- Patients with severe deformity of the big toe that overlaps the second toe
- For those whose hallux valgus deformity has progressed to the point of being aesthetically displeasing.
Procedure Benefits
- There is almost no scarring after the surgery.
- Because there is no incision, recovery after the procedure is quick.
- With local anesthesia, even elderly patients or those with underlying medical conditions can undergo surgery without significant burden.
Risks and Notes
For 6 to 8 weeks after surgery, you must walk without putting weight on your big toe. You should change the dressing every two days as a rule, or every three days if the wound site is clean. Once the orthosis is removed, you will begin rehabilitation to loosen the stiffened joint. (Rarely, inflammation or infection may occur after surgery.)
