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.
