Failed Bunion treated with MIS Bunion & percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy
78 year old female with prior bunion surgery & “toe surgery” many years ago by another surgeon. Walking was extremely painful due to the calluses on the bottom of her foot and her foot “look deformed”. Given her failed bunion surgery she was very reluctant to ever undergo another procedure.
After much discussion she opted for revision surgery with MIS Bunion Akin osteotomy and percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy of 2-5 toes and 3rd hammertoe correction. She had a great recovery, no longer has any pain and the painful calluses have disappeared. She is extremely happy and grateful to walk again with no pain after many years of having a painful foot. The post surgery xray is on the left and pre surgery on the right.
The picture reveals a nice foot that appears “normal” and the surgical scars are from her prior failed surgery, the recent percutaneous incisions are nearly invisible!
She has a similar failed bunion surgery on the left foot and is looking to have the same procedure on her left foot!
