Are there effective nonsurgical treatments of bunions?
Evidence-Based Practice
A 2019 randomized controlled trial (RCT: n=70) evaluated the effectiveness of wearing a dynamic stretch hallux valgus (HV)brace for at least three months in patients with symptomatic HV considering surgery. Patients were nonobese adults, and those with degenerative changes in the first metatarsophalangeal joint were excluded. Patients were assigned to either the dynamic stretch brace or usual care.

Foot & Ankle Clinics
In the last decade, minimally invasive (MIS) or percutaneous surgery has evolved rapidly through the development of novel techniques with precise description, correct indications, and the incorporation of modifications of safe and effective techniques described in open surgery. Recently, three systematic reviews endorsed the use of MIS procedures in patients with hallux valgus (HV) deformity.
