the syndesmosis procedure, to the popular bone-breaking surgeries
“Syndesmosis” is a normal anatomical structure in human body to connect and stabilize two parallel long bones. Syndesmosis procedure was designed to reproduce this connecting structure. The syndesmosis concept has been evolved from the understanding that the true cause of bunion deformity lies in the malfunctioning of the ligaments rather than any real bone deformities. If bones are normal, then no bones should ever need to be broken unless absolutely necessary. The non-bone-breaking syndesmosis procedure aims to re-align and then also re-stabilize the displaced but normal bones of the bunion foot. It can do so by tying the displaced and loose first metatarsal bone to the adjacent second metatarsal bone and then also by creating a syndesmosis fibrous bridge to connect and stabilize it to the second metatarsal bone also to prevent deformity recurrence.
