Minimally invasive Bunions treatment at London Harley Street Clinic

It is estimated that around 10 million women and men in the UK suffer from bunions which is a bony deformity often located at the base of the big toe.

What causes bunions?

Bunions are often said to be caused by ill-fitting shoes or standing for long periods of time but it is often all to do with genetics and you are either prone to them or not.

Bunions can cause a large bony lump to appear out the side of the base of your big toe and they can also cause you to experience swelling and soreness around the affected area, corns or calluses, pain and restricted movement.

Non-surgical Bunion treatments

The only way to treat or remove a bunion is to have it surgically removed. There are a wide range of non-surgical bunion treatments but these are most likely only going to help with the symptoms of your bunion rather than treating it.

Key ways to help relieve the pain from bunions include;

• Medications such as ibuprofen or cortisol injections.
• Shoe Inserts
• Applying Ice
• Bunion pads
• Wearing roomy, comfortable shoes

When the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla stepped out at Wimbledon wearing bunion-correcting footwear it was comforting for many bunion sufferers to know that they were not alone and that even royalty has to deal with the frustrating and often painful condition.

Bunion Surgery

Those who seek to remove their bunions are often faced with surgery that could leave them unable to walk for a number of weeks which in our busy lives these days is just not an option.

Luckily, here at The Private Clinic in London Harley Street, we are excited to be exclusively able to offer a minimally invasive treatment for bunions with our expert Orthopaedic surgeon and bunion specialist Mr Andrea Bianchi who performs 1,200 surgeries a year with a 98% success rate.

Our exclusive bunion operation is a revolutionary procedure available for the first time in the UK. It is a quick mini-invasive surgical procedure that doesn’t involve any fixative devices such as screws, plates or wires and after the treatment patients are able to walk immediately with no crutches and no need for physiotherapy later down the line.

Minimally invasive bunion surgery is exclusively available at The Private Clinic under the strict supervision of Mr Andrea Bianchi, founder of PBS, the team who developed the percutaneous bunion surgery in 1996 and has supervised over 50,000 surgeries since.

What is minimally invasive bunion removal surgery?

In the past bunion surgery often required large incisions and fixation devices to hold the foot in place which is the main reason for the lengthy downtime. Our exclusive bunion removal operation is performed via keyhole surgery under local anaesthetic and using a special radiological device, small surgical burrs are used to correct and remove the bunion deformity. Once the surgery is complete, you will be bandaged up, given a special shoe to wear for 25 days and actively encouraged to bear weight onto the foot to help correct the physiological readjustments.

How much does bunion removal surgery cost?

A consultation with our specialist orthopaedic surgeon costs £200 which also includes a free x-ray of your feet.  Prices for our minimally invasive bunion surgery starts from £4900.
