Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
At Advanced Bunion Solutions, we specialize in the latest advancements in bunion correction using Minimally Invasive Chevron-Akin (MICA) techniques. The fourth-generation MICA has redefined what is possible with bunion surgeries, offering an unparalleled combination of precision, minimal disruption, and optimal recovery. Unlike traditional open procedures, MICA utilizes just a few tiny incisions, allowing for real-time imaging to ensure accurate correction while leaving surrounding tissues undisturbed.

The Evolution
The evolution of MIS bunion correction has brought forth techniques that are not only effective but also refined for superior patient outcomes. With each generation, MICA has progressed to offer more advanced instrumentation and enhanced precision. Our fourth- generation procedure builds upon years of innovation, ensuring that patients receive the most state-of-the-art care available. This technique not only corrects the alignment of the foot but does so in a way that significantly reduces trauma to the surrounding structures.

The Benefits
The advantages of choosing fourth-generation MICA are numerous. The procedure is performed through tiny incisions, leading to minimal scarring and significantly reduced post- operative pain. Recovery times are shorter, and many patients find themselves walking in aprotective boot within days, rather than weeks. Additionally, the precision of the procedure leads to more consistent results and a faster return to normal activities. By minimizing tissue damage, swelling and complications are dramatically reduced, allowing you to stride confidently towards a more active, pain-free life.

MIS Techniques
Less Pain, Minimal Tissue Disruption, and Precise Outcomes – Achieving Equal or Superior Results Compared to Traditional Techniques.
Bunion
A bunion is a bony bump at the base of the big toe that forms when the toe shifts inward. This misalignment causes pain, swelling, and discomfort, especially in shoes, making walking and daily activities difficult. Treating bunions early can relieve pain and prevent worsening issues.
MIS bunion surgery uses tiny incisions, typically less than 0.5 cm, to access and correct the bunion. These small cuts minimize damage to surrounding tissues, reduce scarring, and lead to faster healing with less post-operative pain. This approach allows for a quicker recovery and a more comfortable return to daily activities.
Incisions
The head of the metatarsal bone is precisely shifted into a corrected position to realign the big toe. Two small but strong titanium screws are used to secure the bone in place, providing stability while allowing for weight bearing. These screws ensure long-lasting correction while promoting quicker healing and improved foot function.
Correction
The gap created by shifting the bone gradually fills with new bone over the next several weeks, promoting a stable, natural healing process. Most patients can start walking in a protective boot within the first few days, allowing for gentle mobility while the bone heals. This early walking aids recovery, helping patients return to normal activities sooner with minimal discomfort.
