PROstep Minimally Invasive Surgery

Delivered by Stryker, the leader in foot and ankle⁵, PROstep minimally invasive surgery helps you give patients the bunion pain relief they need, while also providing the faster recovery^2,3 they desire⁵. PROstep MIS utilizes percutaneous, micro incisions to correct bunions as well as perform DMMO, cheilectomy and other procedures.
When compared to traditional bunion surgery, PROstep MICA results in:

- Quicker return to function^2,3
- Less pain¹
