Bunion Repair using the Treace System
Modern, 3‑plane bunion correction designed to address the root cause of the deformity and help you get back on your feet.
What is a bunion?
A bunion (hallux valgus) is a misalignment at the base of the big toe that causes the bump and drifting toe.
Educational illustration only.
Common symptoms
Pain at the bunion, rubbing in shoes, swelling, drifting big toe, or difficulty with activity.
When surgery is considered
After non‑surgical care (wider shoes, pads, orthotics, anti‑inflammatories) no longer controls pain or the deformity progresses.
About the Treace system
A system designed to correct bunion deformity in three planes and stabilize the base joint using precision instrumentation and fixation.
How bunion repair with the Treace system works
Plan & prepare
Weight‑bearing X‑rays map the deformity in rotation, angle, and position. The surgical plan is customized to your foot and activity goals.
Realign the bone
Specialized guides correct the first metatarsal at its base to address the root cause. The big toe is brought back into alignment.
Stabilize & protect
Precision implants secure the correction while the bone heals, helping maintain alignment.
Typical recovery (varies by patient)
- Same‑day surgery; weight‑bearing in a protective boot as directed.
- Elevation and ice the first 1–2 weeks to reduce swelling.
- Transition to supportive shoes once cleared; gradual activity increase.
- Full healing continues for several months; your team will guide milestones.
Potential benefits
- Corrects the bunion at its source (base of the first metatarsal)
- Helps reduce pain, rubbing, and drift of the big toe
- Stable fixation designed to maintain correction during healing
Risks/considerations
- Infection, nerve irritation, delayed bone healing, or recurrence
- Pain or swelling that requires activity modification during recovery
- Implant‑related issues; revision is uncommon but possible
Aftercare
- Keep dressings dry; follow boot/shoe and weight‑bearing instructions.
- Elevate regularly to control swelling; move toes/ankle gently as advised.
- Attend follow‑ups and X‑rays to confirm healing.
