Bunions are one of the most common foot deformities affecting nearly one in three Americans.

They can cause swelling, soreness, and make walking incredibly painful.

“The goal is to get the foot really lined up and corrected right the first time so there is no need for any redo,” Dr. Campbell said. “Better alignment and better correction results in better outcomes.”

The procedure leads to shorter operating times, and it saves up to 30 minutes per procedure.
