Minimally invasive forefoot surgery
Forefoot problems rarely occur in isolation, and living with painful, curled or rubbing toes can be frustrating. Correcting the lesser toes, the metatarsals and the great toe together — through millimetre incisions — restores a balanced, comfortable forefoot rather than treating one deformity at a time.
What happens
Balanced correction
Percutaneous osteotomies and soft tissue releases are used to realign toes and offload painful metatarsal heads, without the stiffness that often follows open lesser toe surgery.
Small wounds
Incisions of two to three millimetres mean less wound risk, less swelling and a considerably more comfortable early recovery.
Combined procedures
Forefoot work is frequently combined with bunion correction in one anaesthetic so there is a single recovery period.
