Is your Foot Bent or Deformed?

• If your big toe is bent, it is called Hallux Valgus.

• If your little toe is bent, it is called a Bunionette.

• Both conditions can be treated with Corrective Osteotomy. 

Surgical Procedure

• Surgery is performed under spinal anesthesia with sedation.

• Each foot takes 30~40 minutes to operate.

• We use a Minimally Invasive Technique.

• A 5-7 day hospital stay is required.

During the procedure, a mini incision is made on the medial side of the big toe, and the 1st metatarsal and proximal phalanx are osteotomized according to a pre-planned correction angle. The screws are used to stabilize the bone. All implants are biocompatible, fully sterilized, and safe for the body, and they don't need to be removed.

Post-Operative Care

• No crutches are required after surgery. But you will need special shoes for 6 weeks.

• Range of motion (ROM) exercises, including knee flexion and extension, will begin the day after surgery.

• If there is no wound infection, you can begin showering after 2 weeks.

• You may send monthly X-rays via email (drahn818@naver.com) for remote follow-up.

Rehabilitation

• Rehabilitation can be done at home, focusing on joint mobility and stretching exercises every day.

• Physical activities are available in 3~6 months. 

• Once the bone is fully united, all exercises (running, football, weightlifting, etc.) are possible. 

Possible Complications

This is a commonly performed and generally safe surgery. However, as with any procedure, rare complications may occur, including: 

• Nonunion, Fracture, Implant failure, Correction loss...
