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 recovery2,3 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 function2.3
- Less pain1
- Smaller scars1,2
- Overall increased patient satisfaction1
- Less need for opioids post-op4
