Bunion surgery has traditionally employed different bone "break-n-shift" methods whether by open or minimal invasive technique with pin, screw, plate or no fixation. Currently, they are still very popular and make up more than 90% of all bunion surgeries.

Surgeons have also been quite cautious and conservative with surgical expectations. American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society and also Cochrane Reviews have always advised patients to be realistic about their surgical expectations.
Generally, there are still restrictions in the type of shoes and activities after surgery. Of course, the most ideal goal for bunion surgery is to be able to normalize foot for unrestricted shoe styles and activities without pain and recurrence. Has this high goal been achieved by the current bone-breaking approach to bunion correction? Will it?
