Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Traditional bunion surgery can involve lengthy recovery periods.
  • Advancements in surgical techniques are sought to improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the revival and evolution of minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIBS).
  • To highlight the effectiveness of new MIBS techniques for bunion correction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing laparoscopic-like, fluoroscopically guided procedures.
  • Employing advanced osseous realignment with subcapital osteotomy and metatarsal head shifts.
  • Stabilizing realignment with specialized orthopedic hardware, including single or dual metatarsal screws.

Main Results:

  • MIBS can treat bunions of all severities.
  • Patients achieve functional walking recovery in a surgical shoe.
  • Bone healing occurs via callus deposition, termed 'first metatarsal regeneration', resulting in a realigned first metatarsal.

Conclusions:

  • New MIBS represents a rapidly evolving, effective treatment for bunions.
  • The procedure's latest generational updates feature a 1-screw construct.
  • Surgeons are increasingly adopting this modern surgical approach.
