🌟 Large Bunion Surgery – 12-Month Outcome
Rotational Scarf + Akin Osteotomy (Open Procedure)

Swipe to see the transformation ➡️

📸 Pre-op vs 12-month Post-op Clinical Photos
🦴 Pre-op vs Post-op X-rays
🦶 Range of Motion at 12 Months

This patient underwent an open Rotational Scarf + Akin osteotomy for a large bunion deformity. Alignment has remained stable at 12 months, symptoms have resolved, and joint motion is functioning well.

💡 Did you know?
The Rotational Scarf Osteotomy can be an excellent alternative to a Lapidus bunionectomy in patients without first-ray hypermobility. It offers strong angular correction while preserving joint function — ideal for patients who don’t require a first tarsometatarsal fusion.

🦶 Recalcitrant Plantar Warts – Surgical Management

📸 Pre-op ➜ 6 Weeks Post-op
This patient had a long-standing plantar wart that did not respond to multiple rounds of conservative care.

After a careful assessment, we proceeded with precise surgical excision in the clinic. At six weeks, the area has healed well, and the patient has returned to comfortable walking.

✨ When conservative therapy fails, clinic-based options can provide reliable results.

A lovely result from a Scarf + Akin Osteotomy — proof that good planning and technique can restore alignment even in a previously operated forefoot.

🦶 Procedure: Scarf + Akin Osteotomy
🕒 Timeline: Pre-op → 3 months Post-op
📍 History: Previous hammertoe surgery ~15 years ago

Previous surgery changes biomechanics, scar elasticity and joint mechanics — so correction must be tailored and respectful of the foot’s history.
Swipe to compare clinical + X-ray views — you’ll notice improved alignment, straighter hallux positioning and better forefoot balance. Still early in healing, but this is a strong trajectory.

Not all bunions are the same. The right procedure depends on deformity angle, stiffness, joint condition and surgical history — and Scarf + Akin remains a reliable option for many feet.

Comfort, alignment and confidence — sometimes fixing the foundation makes all the difference.

🦶 Procedure: Lapidus Bunionectomy + Akin Osteotomy
📅 Timeline: Pre-op → 3-month Post-op
📍 Indication: Hypermobility / 1st ray instability

Swipe to view Pre-operative vs 3-month Post-operative clinical and X-ray images.
You’ll notice straighter alignment, improved joint positioning and early signs of forefoot stability. Healing continues beyond this point — with more bone remodelling and soft-tissue settling still ahead — but the progress so far is very promising.

Not every bunion behaves the same way. Procedure selection depends on biomechanics, deformity severity, joint stability and patient goals.
For the right patient, Lapidus provides durable correction at the foundation — not just the toe.

Feet carry us through life — when pain gets in the way, modern surgery can help restore comfort, alignment and confidence.

Here’s a recent case showing what’s achievable with contemporary forefoot reconstruction:

🔹 Bunion Correction: Minimally Invasive Chevron–Akin Osteotomy (MICA)
🔹 Tailor’s Bunion Correction: Distal Chevron Osteotomy (Open Procedure)

Pre-operative photos + 10-week postoperative clinical & X-ray outcomes show straighter alignment, joint re-centering and early functional improvement. Recovery continues beyond this stage, but progress like this is always exciting for both patient and surgeon.

Not every bunion needs surgery — but for those with pain, rubbing, footwear limitations or progressive deformity, reconstruction can meaningfully improve daily comfort and long-term function.

Percutaneous Flexor Tenotomy (Under Local Anaesthesia)
A small minimally-invasive procedure that releases the tight tendon causing chronic toe pain, corns, or ulcer risk.
Swift recovery — these photos show Pre-op vs 7 Days Post-op.

This technique can help:
• Reduce painful pressure points
• Straighten curled or hammered toes
• Prevent recurrent corns and wounds
• Improve comfort in shoes with minimal downtime

Chronic Interdigital Corn
Minimally Invasive Condylectomy under Local Anaesthesia

Pre-operative & 4-week Post-operative Clinical Photos
Pre-operative & Post-operative Intraoperative X-rays

A long-standing painful interdigital corn can often be caused by a bony prominence between the toes. When conservative care fails, a minimally invasive condylectomy can provide lasting relief with minimal downtime.

Foreign Body–Induced Plantar Warts
(Excision Procedure Under Local Anaesthesia)

Swipe to see the journey from Pre-op → 5 Weeks Post-op.
This patient had persistent plantar pain due to a foreign body that triggered a verruca (plantar wart) reaction. Excision under local anaesthetic allowed full removal of both the wart tissue and the embedded foreign material.

The skin has healed well by five weeks, with resolution of pain and return to normal walking.

Severe Ingrown Toenail with Hypergranulation Tissue
Modified Winograd Procedure (Local Anaesthesia)

Swipe ➡️ to see this patient’s recovery journey:

✅ Pre-op: Severe inflammation, hypergranulation tissue, and recurrent infection.
✅ 7-day post-op: Reduced swelling, infection resolved, tissue healing underway.
✅ 4-week post-op: Stable nail fold, excellent contour, and return to normal activity.

Early intervention prevents chronic pain, repeated infections, and nail deformity. When conservative care no longer works, a Modified Winograd procedure can provide predictable, long-term relief.

Persistent Interdigital Corn – 4 Weeks After Minimally Invasive Condylectomy

Painful corns between the toes often come from underlying bone pressure, not just skin friction. This patient had a long-standing interdigital corn that kept recurring despite routine care. A minimally invasive condylectomy was performed to smooth the prominent bone and relieve pressure.

At 4 weeks, the area has healed beautifully — no pain, no recurrence, and shoes are finally comfortable again 👣✨

✨ Large Bunion Correction – 3-Month Transformation ✨

This patient presented with a severe bunion deformity, causing pain, footwear difficulties, and progressive joint deviation.
An open Rotational Scarf + Akin Osteotomy was performed to realign the bone and restore the natural mechanics of the big toe joint.

At 3 months post-surgery, both the X-rays and clinical photos show excellent correction with smooth joint motion and marked improvement in comfort and function.

Open bunion surgery remains a highly effective, durable option for moderate to severe deformities, allowing accurate correction and stable fixation when performed with modern techniques.

👣 Helping patients walk comfortably again — with restored alignment and confidence.
