Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction.

Hallux valgus is a common condition that results in lateral deviation of the hallux and medial deviation of the metatarsal. When conservative management fails, surgical management is often necessary. More than 150 procedures have been described, and most recommend an open approach. More recently, a minimally invasive approach to bunion correction has gained popularity among surgeons. The authors have been performing a minimally invasive percutaneous method of bunion correction with positive outcomes. This article presents case examples and a systematic approach for correction of this common foot condition.
