The miniBunion procedure is a cutting-edge surgical technique designed to correct bunion deformities. It involves making a small incision on the inner side of the foot, which is significantly smaller than the incisions made in traditional bunion surgeries. This minimally invasive approach allows for less disruption to the surrounding tissues, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
The miniBunion procedure is a revolutionary approach to bunion correction that leverages advanced surgical techniques to deliver superior results. Unlike traditional bunion surgeries that require large incisions and extensive soft tissue disruption, the miniBunion procedure involves a small incision made on the inner side of the foot. This approach not only reduces scarring but also minimizes postoperative pain and speeds up the recovery process.
Choosing the miniBunion procedure comes with several advantages:
The miniBunion procedure is minimally invasive, meaning it requires a smaller incision than traditional bunion surgeries. This results in less trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
One of the standout benefits of the miniBunion procedure is the speed of recovery. Patients are often able to stay on their feet throughout the postoperative period, significantly reducing downtime and allowing a rapid return to daily activities.
The incision made during the miniBunion procedure is up to four times smaller than that of most bunion procedures. Furthermore, it's made on the inner side of the foot, resulting in virtually invisible scarring.
Like any medical procedure, the miniBunion procedure has its pros and cons. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision about your treatment.
Despite these potential drawbacks, many patients find that the benefits of the miniBunion procedure far outweigh the cons. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure, combined with the quick recovery and cosmetic benefits, make it a highly attractive option for many individuals suffering from bunions.
Many insurance plans cover the miniBunion procedure if it's medically necessary, which means your podiatrist has recommended it to treat your bunion. However, coverage varies. Some plans may not cover all aspects of the miniBunion procedure, or may only cover part of the cost.
Before starting the miniBunion procedure, it's a good idea to check with your insurance provider. Ask about your coverage and any costs you might have to pay.

The miniBunion procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to correct bunion deformities. Unlike traditional bunion surgeries, the miniBunion procedure involves a smaller incision made on the inner side of the foot. This approach not only reduces the visibility of the scar but also allows for a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
During the miniBunion procedure, a small incision is made along the side of the foot. A specially designed micro-titanium implant is then placed into the metatarsal bone, which has been cut and repositioned. This implant helps to secure the repositioned bone, correcting the alignment of the foot and relieving the pain caused by the bunion.
The miniBunion procedure offers several benefits over traditional bunion surgeries. Firstly, the recovery time is significantly shorter, with patients often able to walk immediately after the procedure in a special postoperative shoe. Secondly, the procedure is less painful, thanks to the smaller incision and less invasive technique. Lastly, the miniBunion procedure results in a smaller and more concealed scar, providing a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and drawbacks to consider. These may include allergic reactions to the implant material, fracture of the implant, soft-tissue complications, and the potential need for revision surgery. However, these risks are generally low and the benefits of the miniBunion procedure often outweigh the potential drawbacks.
Many insurance plans cover the miniBunion procedure if it's deemed medically necessary. However, coverage can vary between insurance providers and plans. It's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider about your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs before undergoing the procedure.
