Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
Less Pain, Faster Recovery
Percutaneous hallux valgus surgery, also known as minimally invasive bunion surgery, allows this deformity to be treated with incisions of just 2 to 3 mm.
The result? Less post-operative pain, small scars and a quicker return to your routine.
Ideal for patients who value clinical efficacy, accelerated recovery and more discreet aesthetic results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before booking an appointment, it is normal to have questions. We have gathered the most common ones here to help you make your decision.
Dr. Jaime is a specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology with expertise in foot and ankle conditions, including deformities, osteoarthritis, fractures, ligament injuries, and tendon disorders.
An assessment by an orthopedic surgeon with expertise in foot and ankle is essential when there is pain, injury, or deformity in this region. The foot and ankle have a complex anatomy, with multiple joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves that require in-depth knowledge for an accurate diagnosis. The specialist is prepared to identify the cause of symptoms more precisely and recommend the most appropriate and up-to-date treatments, whether conservative or surgical. Specialized care ensures the most effective treatment.
A clinical assessment is essential. Not all cases require surgery — the treatment plan is always personalized and may include physiotherapy, orthotics, or surgical intervention.
Thanks to the percutaneous technique, the surgery is performed with very small incisions, which significantly reduces post-operative pain. Most patients return to their normal routine within a few weeks.
It depends on the procedure, but recovery times are usually faster with minimally invasive surgeries. Many patients are able to walk shortly after surgery using orthopedic footwear.
Some insurance plans may cover consultations or procedures. We recommend confirming directly with the clinic or your insurance provider.
