Introduction - Bunionplasty® | 360 Bunion Repair™
The Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™ procedure is a revolutionary, minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIBS) procedure that allows your PPOS Board-Certified Podiatrist to correct your bunion and let you walk right away! The technology is patented, and the surgical techniques are patent-pending, thus providing superior results with a quicker return to the activities you need to do as well as those you love to do! This procedure even allows our doctors to correct both feet at once in many cases.
The great news is that this procedure is available at Premier Podiatry & Orthopedics! Dr. Christopher Galli and Dr. Gavin Ripp are both performing this amazing new procedure.
How big are the incisions for the Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™?
Big news: They’re really Small!! And when we say small, we truly mean it. The incisions necessary for the Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™ are very small and, in many cases, leave little to no scarring. The exact number and placement of the incisions will depend on your specific bunion. Your Doctor can help advise on this and any other questions you may have.
How is Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™ possible?
The Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™ technology and techniques are both ground-breaking and allow for this new concept in bunion treatment! We use specialized bone screws, developed specifically for this procedure. No plates! Complex hardware is usually not necessary in modern bunion surgery and your Doctor can choose to use as little as one screw for your Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™ procedure, depending on your specific case.
The technology is successful because of Bunionplasty’s patent-pending methods, which require hands-on surgical training and education: hands-on training and education that our PPOS providers have completed.
How fast can I walk after the Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™?
All cases are unique, but typically, we see patients walking immediately, the same day as surgery, using a small surgical sandal. This is often true even when both feet are corrected at the same time! Your Doctor and their team will advise you as to the specifics of your case and when/how walking is advisable.
