Dr.  Nadal discussed the indications, instrumentation, and technique for this bunion procedure as well as advantages of minimally invasive foot surgery. These include less soft tissue trauma, which can result in less post-operative pain and disability, earlier ambulation, as well as reduced need for post-operative narcotic analgesia.
