Unlike other surgical bunion correction methods, the minimally invasive, fusion-free Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair™ approach permits the realignment of the bone from all angles, all planes, and all dimensions at all times. The procedure offers surgeons a far more refined approach, one that may be used in treating bunions of all sizes and severities. It represents a profound advancement over approaches designated “3D” or “4D” in that it corrects the true cause of bunions, by realigning the big toe joint through first metatarsal regeneration – rather than unnecessarily and permanently fusing an otherwise healthy midfoot.

“Patients don’t understand what 3D or 4D even means in the context of surgical bunion correction, and surgeons themselves have a hard time explaining it in a way that doesn’t sound like a gimmick, especially in light of its use of midfoot fusion,” notes Dr. Bogdan Grecea, DPM, FACFAS, Voom Director of Surgeon Onboarding. “One of the first things surgeons learn in our training is the reason we refer to the Bunionplasty® procedure as a 360 Bunion Repair™ solution – it not only preserves the foot’s mobility, it restores its functionality.”
