🙏 The best part of my work - hearing from happy patients post surgery! Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to share your experience!

Head over to Google, Doctify, or my website to hear from many more patients sharing their experiences post keyhole bunion surgery.

I'm very much looking forward to lecturing at the virtual event this weekend.

Specifically, I'll be speaking during the Minimally Invasive 'Forefoot' session.

The event is aimed at podiatrists and foot & ankle surgeons. Find our more at http://mis4.lerexpo.com

Have you attended one of our free bunion patient information webinars?

Many of my patients do so before booking a consultation with me as it's a great way to learn about bunions and the keyhole technique I use to correct them, as well as have your questions answered by me, and hear from others also considering surgery. Visit bit.ly/4pTTAml to book onto our next session on 1st December!

I love reading testimonials like this one post-surgery - thank you for taking the time to share your experience both pre- and post-surgery!

I had a wonderful time teaching at the Basic and Advanced Course in Florida a few weeks ago.

There may be no better course, to teach, learn and be asking the most challenging questions about minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery.

The course was brilliantly organised by A. Holly Johnson Rebecca Cerrato and Oliver Schipper and as faculty, I joined a great team from Chile, Spain, Portugal, France, Brazil, Canada, USA and of course the UK.

Here's another example of a 'Before and After' patient photograph of minimally invasive keyhole bunion surgery I have carried out.

I use this technique to correct the full range of bunion deformities from mild through to severe.

Psoriasis is not just a skin condition. As a seronegative arthropathy, it can affect the joints and tendons too. This can lead to hallux valgus (bunions), although the exact mechanism is unclear.

Psoriasis can cause an inflammation of the lining of the joints (a synovitis), leading to joint swelling, pain, damage and deformity. A bunion may be a consequence. As the bunion increases in size, pain on the inside of the foot occurs due to the increase in foot width. The inflamed joint may also be painful due to an arthritic process.

Keyhole surgery for bunion and lesser toe corrections, plays a role in helping with these symptoms in psoriasis. The x-rays in the second carousel image show before, 6 weeks after and 6 months after keyhole bunion surgery in a female patient with psoriatic arthropathy (affecting the joints). At 6 months, you can see the bone remodelling following the bunion correction, with a well corrected foot.

Thankfully, with modern treatment for psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, I rarely need to perform surgery in this group of patients.

🙏 Thank you so much to all patients who take the time to write a testimonial post surgery - they are greatly appreciated by myself and my team, and are very valuable for prospective patients considering keyhole bunion surgery.

You can read many more reviews from happy patients over on Google, Doctify, or on my website at https://www.thebuniondoctor.com/patient-testimonials.html

Delighted to be in Miami, Florida as invited faculty, to the same course I attended when I started my MIS journey over 13 years ago, and looking forward to sharing my experience of thousands of cases of keyhole surgery.

I have the unenviable task on lecturing on ‘Hallux Valgus MIS Complications: how to avoid and deal with them’. The 10 minutes allowed, will be a whistle stop tour!

Thankfully, we have very well defined techniques to reduce complications.

The international faculty are of the highest quality and I am looking forward to catching up with them and enjoying the Floridian sunshine ☀️

The beauty of keyhole bunion surgery is the power of correction achievable.

The bunion can be moved 100% away from the metatarsal (long bone that connects to the big toe), unachievable with traditional open bunion surgery.

This achieves normal foot alignment, and allows for even severe bunions as shown in these x-rays, to be corrected successfully with low recurrence rates.

Having now performed over 1,500 keyhole bunion corrections since 2013, I am proud to be one of the world's most experienced bunion surgeons, specialising in a minimally-invasive approach to surgery.

Compared to traditional 'open' surgery, the keyhole technique can offer 5 key benefits:
1️⃣ Minimal scarring
2️⃣ Faster recovery and return to normal activities
3️⃣ Reduced recurrence rates
4️⃣ The ability to correct even severe bunions
5️⃣ Preserved big toe joint mobility without stiffness
