MINIBUNION™ 3D System
The MINIBUNION™ 3D System is a minimally-invasive bunion (hallux valgus) implant and procedure for mild-to-moderate bunions that spares the joint capsule and gives patients a walking recovery.1-3* It allows bunion repair through a 15mm incision on the side of the foot, 2-4 times smaller than incisions in traditional techniques, minimal incision and helping patients get a “rapid return to real life.”1, 2, 3*

Outcomes & Evidence
A Rapid Return to Real Life
A potential reason bunion-sufferers avoid surgery is concerns about how long they will be off their feet unable to take care of their responsibilities.1 The MINIBUNION™ Procedure is a minimally invasive technique to repair painful bunions and get patients back to activity as quickly as possible.1-3*
Unlike traditional procedures, minimally invasive techniques like the MINIBUNION Technique require a small incision and involve much less trauma to the soft-tissues surrounding the toes. This spares the blood supply to the bones and allows less pain, and faster recovery than open bunion surgeries.2,3*
The MINIBUNION™ 3D System Walking Recovery
Although it depends on surgeon recommendations and patient factors, many patients who undergo the MINIBUNION™ 3D Procedure walk immediately in a special postoperative shoe.3* While the pain from recovery depends on the pain tolerance of the patient, surgeons who utilize the MINIBUNION™ 3D Technique report their patients are in less pain than expected from traditional bunion surgery.3*
