There is a lot of medial these days about doing minimal incision bunion surgery.  Do not be a victim of the hardware doctor. They think this is minimal incision. They make a small incision. Then they insert these large screws. Sometimes they insert screws and plates. This is not minimal incision. This is totally criminal. Who would want to have such a procedure done. Look at the second picture. This is a bunion. Who would want such correction done to them. Look at the third picture.  How do you think the bunion is going to even heal?  Stay away from the surgeons that profess minimal incision surgery using these types of hardware. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself.

We at the Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Institute do the real minimal incision type of bunion surgery.  We do not use any hardware. We are able to correct the deformity. Our patients walk on it immediately. We do the procedure in our office under local anesthesia.
