Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy
Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy: A Modern Solution Foot and Ankle
Are you suffering from painful bunions that make walking or wearing shoes uncomfortable? If you’re tired of traditional treatments that don’t provide lasting relief, a Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy may be the ideal solution. At Empire Foot and Ankle, we specialize in this advanced technique, offering patients a faster recovery and less post-surgical discomfort.
What Is a Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy?
A Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy is a surgical procedure designed to correct bunions — bony bumps that develop on the joint at the base of your big toe. Unlike traditional bunion surgery, this technique requires only tiny incisions, typically less than 5mm. Using specialized instruments and imaging, our expert podiatrists at Empire Foot and Ankle realign the bone and soft tissue with precision and minimal trauma to surrounding areas.
This approach reduces scarring, pain, and swelling, and allows many patients to return to walking the same day of the surgery often without the need for crutches or casts.

A Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy is a modern surgical technique used to correct bunions through very small incisions. It involves minimal tissue disruption and offers faster recovery compared to traditional bunion surgery.
Unlike traditional surgery, which often requires large incisions and extensive recovery time, a minimally invasive approach uses small tools and local anesthesia to reposition bones with less trauma. At Empire Foot and Ankle, patients often walk the same day.
You may be a candidate if you suffer from mild to moderate bunion pain that hasn’t improved with orthotics, footwear changes, or physical therapy. A full evaluation at Empire Foot and Ankle will help determine your eligibility.
Most patients can walk on the same day with protective footwear. Swelling may persist for a few weeks, but full recovery is typically faster than with traditional bunion surgery — often within 4 to 6 weeks.
