MIS Chevron +/- Akin osteotomy +/- 2,3,4,5 DMMO / toe deformity correction - Pre / Post-op Images

Please note the significant swelling post-op.
It is important that patients have a clear understanding of the recovery process.

During the surgery we will be breaking and resetting several bones in your foot - anywhere from 1 to 14 bones.

We will typically start by shaving down the bunion and extruding excess bone.

We then perform a chevron osteotomy, the bone is displaced and held in place with a k-wire.

If you have metatarsalgia or a moderate / severe bunion we will typically perform 2,3,4,5 DMMO (Distal Metatarsal Minimally Invasive Osteotomy) this is performed to treat / prevent a problem known as metatarsalgia / transfer metatarsalgia.

If you have toe deformity / alignment issues or the toes point in a suboptimal position, we will typically perform phalangeal osteotomies as required to reposition the toes.  These are either pinned in place with a k-wire for 3 - 4 weeks or held in place with suture.
