Dr. Vargas Performs New Tightrope Procedure for Bunions!!
This past week I, Dr. Marco A Vargas of Foot & Ankle Associates, performed a revolutionary procedure for bunions using a device called a tightrope. What makes the procedure revolutionary is that patients' recovery time is half of what it is with traditional bunion surgery and there is significantly less postoperative pain due to no bone cut and less swelling. It represents a revolutionary change in bunion surgery and will allow more people to undergo bunion correction due to a faster recovery, less pain and fewer complications. This means fewer days missed at work or less down time with the kids -- 2 of the main reasons many people avoid bunion correction.
@sneewithchen this is not a typical bunion surgery. Chances are that your local podiatrist is not offering this procedure. But this is a really cool,new innovation to the bunionectomy. Very cool video guys!

@ThaisBlackXboxLive Probably a bone spur. I have a build up of bone at that spot as a result of my bunion. The foot is wider there and so it rubs and the buildup occurs.
