Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Bunions in Brigham City, Utah

Bunion deformity being treated with minimally invasive surgery.

If a bunion is causing pain that conservative care hasn't relieved, you may be a candidate for minimally invasive bunion surgery. At Corbridge Podiatry in Brigham City, Dr. Treg Corbridge offers MIS bunion correction — an advanced approach that treats the deformity with far less disruption than traditional surgery.

What is minimally invasive bunion surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) involves much less surgical trauma to the foot and ankle than traditional, more invasive procedures that require longer recovery and more downtime. The MIS bunionectomy realigns the bony structures of your big toe while maintaining a healthy healing environment to promote a faster recovery.

Every bunion is different, and your Corbridge Podiatry foot specialist can customize 3D correction to your specific deformity using specialized instruments and technique. The procedure requires only tiny 'pinhole' incisions to achieve triplanar correction without fusing a joint or using excessive hardware. This relieves your bunion pain with a more cosmetic result.

What are the benefits of the MIS bunionectomy?

Minimally invasive bunion surgery offers meaningful advantages over more aggressive procedures:

  • Clinically proven to achieve the same or better corrective results than traditional, more aggressive bunion surgeries
  • Tiny pinhole incisions rather than large openings, for a more cosmetic outcome
  • Less surgical trauma to the surrounding tissue
  • On average, patients recover up to 8 weeks faster than with traditional procedures
  • Customized 3D correction tailored to your individual bunion
