Bunionette treatment

Sometimes changes occur near the small toe that are similar to what can happen to the big toe – in each case, the result can be painful pressure on the outside of the foot. Unfortunately, the range of treatments available when symptoms occur here are rather limited. Inlays that ‘raise’ the transverse arch generally result in further decreasing the space available in the shoe. That is why we begin with conventional measures that reduce inflammation and relieve pressure, coupled with the use of wide shoes with soft uppers. If these measures do not result in improvement or are unacceptable over the long term, an operation may bring relief. As when treating the big toe bunion, an operative correction of the fifth metatarsal bone is undertaken.

In our center, this procedure is performed minimally invasively in 100% of cases.
Furthermore, we have developed a special MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery) technique, which has been published and has gained wide international recognition.
Postoperative care is functional and carried out in a special shoe for 4 to 6 weeks.
