Where conservative approaches have failed to elevate the pain of a bunion deformity, bone surgery is the next step. A minimally invasive (MIS) bunionectomy is a surgical procedure for correcting a bunion deformity with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure involves carefully removing excess bone and realigning the affected joint to correct the bunion. Specialized instruments, such as burrs, rasps, or saws, are used to trim and reshape the bone, allowing for precise correction while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Bunionectomy procedures are associated with improved function, reduction in pain and cosmetic improvements.

CHEILECTOMY

Cheilectomy is a procedure performed to alleviate pain and improve joint range of motion. For individuals suffering from hallux rigidus, a condition characterized by stiffness and arthritis in the big toe joint. This procedure involves the surgeon carefully removing any bone spurs, excess tissue, or damaged cartilage that may be causing impingement and limiting movement in the joint. Cheilectomy procedures are assocaited with several benefits including reduced pain, improved range of motion, and enhanced joint function. 

ARTHROPLASTY (HAMMER TOES)

Arthroplasty is a procedure commonly used to treat various joint disorders, including severe cases of Hammer Toes or Arthritis affecting toe joints. It involves the partial or total removal of the damaged joint. The affected joint is prepared by removing any bone spurs and damaged cartilage. The joint is then partially removed using saws and bone cutters and closed with sutures. Arthroplasty procedures are associated with pain relief, improved joint function, reduced risk of ulceration, and improved quality of life.

OSTEOTOMY

Osteotomy is a procedure commonly used to treat painful corns and callus and recurring lesions on the bottom of our feet. It involves surgical cutting of bone at a precise angle to reduce the pressure underneath the particular offending joint. Osteotomy procedures are associated with pain relief, reduction of corn/callus formation, reduced risk of ulceration, and enhanced quality of life.

NEURECTOMY

Neurectomy is a soft tissue procedure used to treat a painful electric shock like symptoms in the ball of our feet. This procedure involves gently dissecting down to the inflamed and swollen portion of a damaged nerve fibre, often referred to as Morton’s Neuroma, careful, surgical excision and decompression of the area is performed. This procedure is associated with pain relief and return to normal function.
