As high as 30% of women experience a painful bump on the outside of their big toe, known as a bunion.(1) Due to their location, bunions can often reduce the flexibility of the toe and cause continuous pain. Watch Carolyn as she shares how Stryker Foot & Ankle’s PROstep provided her with less pain(2), smaller scars(2,3) and a quicker recovery.(3,4) https://ow.ly/9t0W50TotMI
Individual results and activity levels after surgery vary and depend on many factors including age, weight, and prior activity level. There are risks and recovery times associated with surgery and there are certain individuals who should not undergo surgery. Only a physician can tell you if these products and associated procedures are right for you and your unique circumstances. Please consult a physician for complete information regarding benefits, risks, anticipated implant duration and possible outcomes.
