Surgery for hallux valgus correction
During the PBS procedure, the surgeon works on the bones of the forefoot to correct the deviation of the big toe and restore the proper alignment of the foot structures. The operation is performed using dedicated instruments that allow for work through very small incisions.
The procedure is generally brief, and the patient can resume walking immediately, using a special post-operative shoe that protects the foot during the recovery phase.
The advantages of the minimally invasive approach
Compared to traditional surgery, the PBS technique offers several advantages:
- less tissue trauma
- reduced post-operative pain
- faster recovery of foot functionality
- very small scars
- quicker return to daily activities.
The goal is to correct the deformity while maintaining the natural balance of the foot as much as possible and minimizing the impact of the surgery on the patient’s life.
A personalized care pathway
Before considering surgery, a thorough specialist evaluation is always necessary. The surgeon analyzes the structure of the foot, the evolution of the deformity, and the patient’s symptoms to define the most appropriate treatment.
In some cases, it is possible to begin with conservative treatments, such as the use of orthotics or other therapies. However, when pain persists or the deformity limits foot functionality, the PBS technique represents an effective solution to correct the problem and improve quality of life.
