Before + After | Bunionette Correction with InvisiFoot™

Have pain on the outside of your foot?
A bunionette is a small bump that forms near your pinky toe and can make shoes uncomfortable and walking painful.

At Emerald Coast Foot & Ankle Center, Dr. Speer corrects bunionettes using InvisiFoot™ — a minimally invasive technique done through tiny incisions, without plates or screws.

With InvisiFoot™:
• Small incisions
• Less disruption to tissue
• Patients walk the same day
• Faster return to normal activities

If the outside of your foot is constantly irritated or limiting what you can wear, it may be time to get it evaluated.

What to Expect on the Day of Your InvisiFoot™ Surgery

Dr. Speer walks you through exactly what happens the day of your procedure, so you feel informed, prepared, and confident every step of the way.

🔹 Designed for your foot — InvisiFoot™ uses tiny (3–5 mm) incisions rather than a large cut, limiting disruption to soft tissue and surrounding structures. 
🔹 Precision with imaging — Specialized instruments and live imaging help Dr. Speer realign bones accurately and gently. 
🔹 Walk the same day — Patients are able to walk in their post-op shoe the same day the procedure is done. 
🔹 Less swelling, less downtime — Because the technique preserves healthy tissue and avoids hardware like plates or screws, recovery is typically faster and more comfortable than traditional surgery. 

InvisiFoot™ is used not just for bunions, but also for hammertoes, bunionettes, neuromas, and bone spurs — offering a modern alternative when traditional methods aren’t the best fit. 

If foot pain or deformities are limiting your mobility or daily life, Dr. Speer and our team are here to guide you through every step.

Inside an InvisiFoot™ Procedure with Dr. Speer

During minimally invasive bunion and hammertoe correction, Dr. Speer uses tiny incisions and specialized instruments to realign the bones safely and precisely — all without plates, screws, or traditional open surgery.

This intra-operative moment shows Dr. Speer assessing alignment and motion immediately after correction. With the InvisiFoot™ method, this step is essential to ensure the foot functions properly before the patient ever leaves the procedure room.

✨ Why patients choose InvisiFoot™:
• Minimal incisions
• No metal hardware
• Same-day walking
• Reduced swelling and downtime
• Natural, functional results

If foot pain, bunions, or toe deformities are keeping you from moving comfortably, you may be a candidate for this modern approach to forefoot surgery.

Hammertoe Transformation | InvisiFoot™ by Dr. Speer

Hammertoes occur when the toe joints bend out of normal alignment, leading to pain, irritation, and trouble walking.

When conservative care isn’t enough, minimally invasive correction with InvisiFoot™ can help realign the toe with smaller incisions and less soft-tissue disruption than traditional surgery.

This before-and-after shows how realignment can improve comfort and function, allowing patients to walk after the procedure.

If hammertoes are limiting your mobility or comfort, a modern approach to correction may help.

Intra-operative imaging is essential during every InvisiFoot™ procedure.
It gives Dr. Speer a live view of bone alignment, allowing him to make precise corrections through a tiny incision and confirm results in real time.

What makes InvisiFoot™ different from traditional bunion surgery?

• Tiny incision instead of a large open cut
• No plates or screws
• No bone-breaking or shifting with hardware
• Minimal soft-tissue disruption
• Patients walk the same day
• Faster recovery, less pain, smoother return to normal life

Traditional bunion surgery often requires extensive cutting, hardware, weeks in a boot, and long recovery times.

InvisiFoot™ uses a minimally invasive, precision-based method that focuses on alignment — not hardware — and preserves the natural structure of the foot.

Dr. Speer uses intra-operative imaging to teach, refine, and ensure consistent patient outcomes. His team is trained hands-on in the operating room to deliver the highest level of care.
