Keyhole bunion surgery is minimally invasive surgery to reduce the deformities in the foot caused by bunions. This method leaves minimal scarring or sign of operation. Using small keyholes, the surgeon makes cuts to the bone and reshapes the affected area.<\/p>\n
First, the specialist cleans the skin over the bunion with an antiseptic solution. In the instance of general anesthesia, patients are asleep for the procedure. Next, the surgeon cuts the bone with a very small tool to realign and correct the deformity. Confirming the state of the condition with\u00a0 x-rays, the surgeon closes the opening with stitches and a bandage.<\/p>\n
This method reduces bleeding, causes less damage to tissues, less scarring (both internally and externally,) decreases stiffness of the joints, and often has a better overall result. t<\/p>\n
This procedure is an out-patient surgery, so patients will go home the same day as the surgery. The keyhole bunion surgery has a quicker recovery time, getting you back to your life and normal activities.<\/p>\n
