At Elite Foot & Ankle Associates, we offer the NOFX8N™ bunionectomy, an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique designed to correct bunions while reducing the trauma associated with traditional open surgery.
A bunion occurs when the big toe gradually shifts toward the smaller toes, causing a painful bump on the side of the foot. Over time this deformity can lead to joint pain, difficulty wearing shoes, and limitations in daily activities.
The NOFX8N™ bunionectomy restores alignment of the first metatarsal and big toe using very small incisions and specialized surgical instruments.
Benefits
- Small incisions with minimal scarring
- Minimal soft tissue disruption
- Reduced postoperative pain and swelling
- Faster recovery compared with traditional techniques
- Earlier return to normal shoes and activities
Candidates
- Painful bunions that interfere with walking or activity
- Progressive deformity
- Difficulty fitting into shoes
- Failed conservative treatment such as orthotics
Advanced Surgical Care
The NOFX8N bunionectomy is a modification of a surgical technique developed by Dr. Haynes designed to enhance recovery, optimize correction, and reduce recurrence.
