Bunion Surgery Without Hardware: How Dr. Singh’s Approach Works
For many active patients, the concern is not only the bunion. It is the idea of a long incision, hospital surgery, and permanent screws or plates left inside the foot. Dr. Sutpal Singh, DPM, FACFAS, evaluates patients in Hoffman Estates for minimal-incision bunion correction that avoids internal hardware when the deformity, bone quality, and overall health make that approach appropriate.
Instead of relying on plates or screws, Dr. Singh uses precise surgical instruments and a focused in-office technique designed to correct the bunion while limiting soft-tissue disruption. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and many appropriate patients are able to walk after surgery in the protected manner Dr. Singh recommends. Individual recovery depends on the severity of the bunion, medical history, and the treatment plan discussed during the consultation.
Regenerative medical therapy may also be used to support the surgical site and recovery plan. Depending on the case, options may include Class IV laser therapy, stem cell therapy, shock wave therapy, peptides, or red light therapy. These therapies are not presented as a cure or guarantee; they are part of Dr. Singh’s consultation-based approach for patients who want advanced options beyond routine bunion care.
Patients who want minimal-incision foot and ankle services can learn more about Dr. Sutpal Singh, DPM, FACFAS or request an appointment to discuss whether bunion surgery without hardware is appropriate for their foot.
Note that the patient does not have much swelling, or visible incision marks and the alignment is much better than it was before surgery. And this patient was able to ambulate same day as the surgery.
