Has anyone tried the tri-correction bunionectomy with arthroplasty?

Archive date 3 archived replies

Has anyone tried the tri-correction bunionectomy with arthroplasty? It's a minimally invasive surgery compared to the other one. 2 weeks in a cast and back running in 8 weeks. Just trying to determine if it's worth the money as it's not covered under our health coverage here in BC Canada.

DL Walker Admin Rising contributor Be sure to check the surgeon's credentials and success rate. How many have they done? Percentage of success (There is about a 10% failure rate) and worse case scenero. I would also reccomend engaging in a pre-hab program to address the underlying causes that led to the problem in the first place as well as getting great rehab to ensure your success.
