Nurse Back on Her Feet Days After Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
Treatment TermsBunion Surgery
Overview
When the bunion on Kim Aiken ’s foot grew so large that she had to go up a shoe size -- and so painful she could barely get through her nursing shifts -- she knew it was time to see a doctor. A Duke orthopaedic surgeon performed a new, less invasive type of bunion surgery, and Aiken walked out of the surgery center just hours after the procedure.
