Regain Freedom From Foot Pain
Foot pain caused by bunions can make simple tasks like walking or running feel impossible. With minimally invasive bunion surgery, NYC patients can regain their comfort and experience less scarring than with an invasive procedure.
Located in Manhattan, NYC, Gotham Footcare is dedicated to helping you reclaim your independence from foot pain and bunions.
To provide the best care possible, we offer minimally invasive bunion surgery to minimize risks and discomfort during healing.
Bunions, or hallux valgus, are painful, bony bumps that appear around the first joint of the big toe.
When your foot undergoes any kind of stress or pressure, bunions can form as the bones shift and the joints become inflamed. This shift can cause severe discomfort and give your foot a “crooked” appearance as the bones in your foot shift.
Bunions can be caused by many things, including:
At Gotham Footcare in NYC minimally invasive bunion surgery, our preferred surgical method, is a modern alternative to traditional bunion surgery.
It uses fewer incisions to permanently correct bunions, and the technique involves a shorter recovery time, fewer risks, and a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Most healthy adults with moderate to severe bunion growth are good candidates for minimally invasive bunion surgery. Patients with any of the following should consult their doctor before getting minimally invasive bunion surgery:
During your consultation, x-rays will be taken of the affected foot to assess your eligibility and prepare a surgical plan for your minimally invasive bunion surgery. You will likely be advised to wear comfortable clothes, fast for 12 hours, and have transportation arranged for the date of your surgery.
The surgery will start with the administration of an anesthetic to put the patient to sleep, followed by cleaning the area around the bunion. Tiny incisions will then be made to allow medical instruments to access the affected area of the foot. The bunion will be corrected, and the incisions will be sutured before being wrapped for recovery. On average, minimally invasive bunion surgery takes less than an hour.
Results are immediately noticeable after surgery. Your big toe will be appropriately aligned, and there should no longer be a large bump where the bunion was. It can take up to six months for all swelling to dissipate and incisions to heal completely.
Partial weight bearing to your heel and keep it elevated whenever possible. No extensive activity.
Full weight bearing return to light activity.
Most patients can return to wearing tennis shoes at this point.
Progressively higher impact activity allowed, such as biking or jogging.
Return to daily routine as comfort allows.

While minimally invasive bunion surgery is not more common than traditional bunion surgery, it is quickly gaining in popularity for its benefits over the traditional methods.
We recommend staying off your foot for at least four to six weeks after surgery before gradually returning to more intensive activities, such as long walks or biking. After twelve weeks, most patients will be ready to return to their regular daily routine.
Like other surgeries, minimally invasive bunion surgery can cause residual pain and discomfort during the recovery process. Additional risks are uncommon, but overcorrection, infection, and the eventual return of the bunion are possible.
Yes, surgery. Unfortunately, toe spacers and shoe inserts can provide temporary relief and alleviate some pain, but the only permanent solution to correct a bunion is to have it surgically repaired.
Untreated bunions can cause severe pain over time and can even lead to permanent deformities in the foot.
