Hall Podiatry Now Offers Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy

Bunions can make walking and everyday activities uncomfortable, limiting mobility and causing pain. Advances in surgical techniques now allow patients to correct this common foot condition with a minimally invasive bunionectomy, a modern approach designed to reduce scarring, minimize pain, and speed up recovery.

Dr. Patrick Hall, DPM, brings years of experience and expertise to this treatment. He is board-certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and has been published in The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery and McGlamry’s Comprehensive Textbook of Foot and Ankle Surgery.

A bunion, or hallux valgus, is one of the most common foot conditions treated at Hall Podiatry. While traditional surgery has long been effective, minimally invasive techniques now offer a modern alternative for many patients.

How Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy Works

This procedure uses tiny incisions and specialized instruments to realign bones with minimal disruption to surrounding soft tissues. Patients typically experience less pain and swelling, smaller scars, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional surgery. Most patients wear a walking boot for a short period while the foot heals, but many can return to normal footwear sooner than with traditional surgery.

The benefits of this procedure include:

• Smaller Incisions and Less Scarring – Incisions are often less than half an inch wide, resulting in minimal scarring and improved appearance.
• Reduced Pain and Swelling – Less disruption to soft tissues makes recovery more comfortable.
• Faster Recovery – Many patients can return to normal footwear and daily activities sooner than with traditional surgery.
• Outpatient Procedure – Surgery is typically performed under IV sedation in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to recover at home the same day.
• Precise Bone Alignment – Advanced imaging and instrumentation enable surgeons to accurately realign bones.

Is Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy Right for You?

Minimally invasive bunionectomy offers a modern, patient-focused approach to correcting bunions and restoring comfort and mobility. Many patients find relief from pain, enjoy smaller scars, and return to normal activities faster than with traditional surgery.

If you are experiencing discomfort from a bunion and want to explore your treatment options, scheduling a consultation with Dr. Hall is the first step toward regaining foot health and confidence.
