If painful bunions are keeping you from walking comfortably or wearing your favorite shoes, there’s good news — you no longer have to face large incisions, metal plates, or long recovery times.
At Family Foot & Leg Center (FFLC), Dr. Kevin Lam and his surgical team are proud to offer Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery — a modern approach that’s transforming how we correct bunions and restore comfort.
This innovative procedure uses tiny incisions, precise imaging, and advanced instrumentation to realign the bone — meaning less pain, less scarring, and a faster return to walking. 💙
What Is a Bunion?
A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe. Over time, the big toe drifts toward the smaller toes, causing joint pain, redness, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes.
Traditional surgery often involves a large incision, cutting and repositioning bones, and using screws or plates — which can mean more discomfort and longer healing.
With Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery, Dr. Lam performs the same correction through incisions as small as a few millimeters — often requiring only local anesthesia and allowing most patients to walk shortly after surgery.
Why Choose Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery?
Minimally invasive techniques focus on precision and preservation — correcting the bunion without the trauma of traditional open surgery.
Here’s how patients benefit:
✅ Smaller Incisions: Just a few millimeters long — less scarring, faster healing.
✅ Less Pain & Swelling: Minimal tissue disruption means a gentler recovery.
✅ Faster Recovery: Many patients walk in a post-op shoe the same day.
✅ Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced infection risk and faster wound healing.
✅ Natural Foot Appearance: Improved cosmetic outcome with better alignment.
🦶 How It Works
Using specialized instruments and fluoroscopic (live X-ray) guidance, Dr. Lam carefully realigns the bones of the big toe joint through tiny openings.
The correction is stabilized with micro-fixation — often without the need for large screws or plates. Because the surrounding tissues remain largely untouched, patients experience significantly less postoperative pain and swelling compared to traditional methods.
Most procedures are done outpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day.
💙 Recovery: Walk Sooner, Heal Faster
One of the greatest advantages of minimally invasive bunion surgery is how quickly patients get back on their feet.
Most are able to bear weight immediately in a special surgical shoe and transition to normal footwear within weeks rather than months.
At FFLC, we provide comprehensive postoperative care including digital imaging, follow-up evaluations, and customized recovery plans to ensure every patient regains strength, balance, and confidence.
