First, do no harm…
Doctors and surgeons are allegiant to their Hippocratic Oath, “First, do no harm”. For over 30 years we have collected undeniable evidence that bunion can be and also should be corrected without breaking bones or fusing joints. Syndesmosis bunion surgery can also consistently restore foot function and prevent recurrence, simply because it is the only bunion surgery would and capable of addressing bunion’s fundamental pathology, incompetent ligaments.
The story
There have more than 150 bunion surgeries been explored for better results. Breaking bones and fusing joints are accountable for most of them. Unfortunately, patients and also surgeons will continue to be disappointed by any new surgical proposals of the same illogical approaches to the bunion condition.
Think outside the bone-breaking, joint-fusion boxes
➤ WHY NO TO BREAKING BONES?
Bunion deformity is formed by displaced normal bones. Thus, break-n-shift of bones will only add insult to injury. What’s a bunion?
➤ WHY NO TO FUSING JOINTS?
Joints are created to allow movement between bones. All joints of bunion foot are blameless. To eliminate any will only compound the problem. The human foot
➤ WHY YES TO A LIGAMENT APPROACH?
Contrary to popular belief, bunion is actually a soft-tissue issue of incompetent ligaments failing to protect bones and joints from being displaced by the stress of daily activities. Failed ligaments
➤ WHY YES TO SYNDESMOSIS BUNION SURGERY?
It is the only bunion surgery would realign displaced bones and joints in 3D, naturally and harmlessly. It will also prevent recurrence due to its appreciation and face-on solution for the ligament problem. Less-is-more approach
Syndesmosis Bunion Surgery re-aligns displaced bones & joints in 3D, naturally and harmlessly. We treat the ligament problem face-on to prevent recurrence for life.
Why Syndesmosis?
HUMAN FOOT IS FOR WALKING, NOT FOR SHOW
Bunion deformity compromises this very fundamental foot function. Unfortunately, sacrificing the integrity of normal bones and joints by breaking and fusing them has not been proven consistent with the best function- interest of bunion feet.
What are the facts?
FULL FUNCTION IMPROVEMENT
Function improvement can only be objectively evaluated by comparing plantar pressure studies of the foot in walking before and after surgery.
What’s the truth?
35 YEARS EXPERIENCE
2,000+ bunion feet have been uniquely corrected by one unflagging technique and also returned to unrestricted activities and shoes with minimal recurrence.
