If foot and bunion pain is limiting your everyday activity, find relief with PROstep™ Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS).

PROstep™ is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can help you to get back on your feet faster,2,3 with less pain.1 PROstep™ MIS surgery is performed with small 3-5mm incisions, compared to 3-5 inch incisions used in traditional bunion surgery.

PROstep™ Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery utilizes percutaneous, incisions to correct bunions (hallux valgus), hammertoes, hallux rigidus and other foot conditions, which cause far less damage to your foot.

Surgeons have found the following advantages of PROstep™ minimally invasive procedures:

  • less pain2
  • earlier return to function compared to an open procedure2,3
  • smaller incision1
  • less soft tissue disruption1
  • smaller scars1
Individual results and activity levels after surgery vary and depend on many factors including age, weight and prior activity level. There are risks and recovery times associated with surgery and there are certain individuals who should not undergo surgery. Only a physician can tell you if this product and associated procedure are right for you and your unique circumstances. Please consult with a physician for complete information regarding benefits, risks and possible outcomes.

Bunion Pain?

One of the most common foot problems patients face is a bunion, which is a misalignment of the bone at the big toe. Bunions are often painful and can often drastically change the shape of the foot, limiting your daily activities.
