Bunion Surgery Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, practical answers from a bunion-focused surgical team serving Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens.
What is minimally invasive bunion surgery?
It uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to correct selected bunion deformities. The appropriate procedure depends on your anatomy, X-rays, symptoms, joint condition, and health. Learn more about minimally invasive bunion surgery in Jupiter.
Is minimally invasive surgery right for every bunion?
No. Some deformities are better treated with another reconstructive technique. Your surgeon should recommend the least invasive procedure that can reliably address your specific problem.
Can I walk after bunion surgery?
Weight-bearing instructions vary. Some MIS procedures permit protected weight-bearing in a postoperative shoe or boot, while other procedures require partial or non-weight-bearing. Follow your own surgeon’s written instructions and review our post-operative care guide.
How long does recovery take?
Six weeks is a common bone-healing milestone, but swelling, shoe tolerance, activity progression, and full recovery often take longer. Timing depends on the operation and the individual patient.
Do you accept insurance?
Insurance-based and cash-pay options are available. Coverage depends on medical necessity and the terms of your plan.
Where are consultations available?
