Hallux valgus, commonly referred to as a bunion, is a progressive deformity that affects the alignment of the big toe. In cases where conservative treatments fail, surgery becomes necessary. Recent innovations include minimally invasive techniques that reduce soft tissue trauma and improve recovery times.

Procedures such as the minimally invasive Chevron or scarf osteotomy have gained popularity in the UK and Australia. These approaches offer reduced scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to function when compared to traditional open procedures.

In South Africa, such procedures may not yet be widely available due to training limitations or equipment costs. However, podiatrists can play a crucial role in pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care, ensuring that patients are referred appropriately and rehabilitated correctly.

Keeping abreast of international surgical advancements allows South African podiatrists to advocate for improved services and guide patients in understanding their options, even when surgical care is referred externally.

While surgical scope remains outside podiatry in South Africa, podiatrists are central to managing bunion cases pre- and post-operatively. Awareness of modern surgical techniques supports better patient education and outcomes.
