Precision Bunion Surgery with Modern Techniques
Bunion deformities are a common condition affecting the alignment of the great toe, often leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty with footwear. At the Family Foot & Leg Center (FFLC), we utilize advanced, minimally invasive techniques to correct bunions with less downtime and improved long-term outcomes.
In this featured case, Dr. Kevin Lam performed a reverse Peabody procedure combined with an Akin osteotomy to restore alignment and function. This approach allows for excellent correction with minimal soft tissue disruption and faster recovery compared to traditional open methods.
Case Overview
This patient underwent a reverse Peabody bunion correction along with an Akin osteotomy for fine-tuning of the toe alignment.
The combination of these procedures enables precise bone realignment, stable fixation, and improved cosmetic and functional outcomes.
At the 10-week postoperative visit, results were outstanding:
* ✅ Excellent bone healing and stable fixation on X-ray
* ✅ Corrected toe alignment and balanced joint position
* ✅ Minimal swelling and good scar healing
* ✅ Comfortable walking and return to daily activities

Why the Reverse Peabody and Akin Osteotomy Work So Well
The reverse Peabody technique is a refined method that repositions the metatarsal head through a smaller incision while preserving joint integrity. When paired with the Akin osteotomy, which adjusts the proximal phalanx, the combination provides a balanced correction of the bunion deformity.
Benefits of this minimally invasive approach include:
* Smaller incisions, less soft tissue trauma
* Reduced postoperative pain and scarring
* Faster recovery and return to function
* Strong, lasting correction of the bunion deformity
