Syndesmosis Procedure

Syndesmosis is a real anatomical structure in human body providing side-to side connection and stability between two parallel long bones such as tibia and fibula in the leg.

Syndesmosis procedure utilizes the same principle to realign misaligned bones without having to break them and also provide a specific mechanism to re-stabilize the re-aligned first metatarsal bone permanently. Without having to break normal bones and release normal tendons as traditional bunion surgeries do, syndesmosis procedure is truly minimally traumatic and thus has less surgical pain, fewer complications and greater function restoration.


Syndesmosis procedure has been proven to be able to consistently restore normal great toe function by mechanical testing with F-scan in so far over 800 consecutive cases. This mechanical and functional normalization is also reflected in spontaneous resolution of bunion's secondary conditions such as metatarsalgia, metatarsal calluses, hammer toes, collapsed arches and bunionette without additional surgeries. Returning to usual shoes including high-fashion and high-heel shoes and to ordinary exercises such as jogging, sports and dancing can now become realities, simply for the reason that correction can be achieved without breaking bones.
