TIME FOR CHANGE IN BUNION TREATMENT
At our bunion-specific clinic, we want to change how bunions are fundamentally understood, and, therefore, corrected. Much of what you’ll read on our Bunion Clinic HK website is based on immense research and leverages the most current studies and innovations in our field, all dedicated to the correction of bunion deformity.
After 35 years of consistent and predictable results, the mission of our bunion Hong Kong center is simple: To help patients and doctors find a better way to healthy, bunion-free feet. To do that, our bunion HK center has refined a long-neglected and holistic way to treat bunions, which involves maximal correction of the underlying pathology and minimal surgical trauma during correction.
OUR APPROACH TO TREATING BUNIONS – ACHIEVE MORE WITH LESS
One simple living structure in our foot can solve alignment problems that affect over 160 moving parts. That simple structure is a ligament.
The syndesmosis procedure – is designed to induce the growth of a new ligament to replace the incompetent existing ligaments causing the bunion deformity. Traditional procedures are centered around modifying the shape of bones or joints to compensate for the failed ligaments. Our bunion specific clinic, on the other hand, believes in creating an environment where your body can essentially help itself.
HOW WELL DO
YOU KNOW
YOUR FEET?
Leonardo da Vinci said, “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.” At our bunion clinic in HK, we want to help restore your feet back to their originally intended form and function through our comprehensive bunion treatment programme. Bunions are also known as “hallux valgus”. To appreciate the scope of the treatment and procedure offered by our bunion Hong Kong center, you must first consider how the treatment actually works.
Traditionally, bunion deformity is treated by working on the bones that get enlarged as a result of the condition. But, any deviation or trauma to a single bone or joint will forever disrupt this highly evolved system. This can cause injuries that prevent its optimal functioning. Following a less traumatic method to bring your bones and joints back into alignment is ideal to ensure your foot health is preserved in the long run. That’s exactly what we seek to do here for patients, at our bunion Hong Kong clinic.

Syndesmosis – A technique utilized by our bunion doctor in HK, is designed to induce the growth of a new ligament within the foot. Traditional procedures are centered around sacrificing a healthy bone or joint to treat bunion HK patients. Our bunion specific clinic, on the other hand, believes in creating an environment where your body can essentially cure itself. Our approach creates healthy, self-generated soft tissue within your bunion foot, along with over 100 others that already exist.
CHANGING THE GAME IN
REMEDYING BUNION DEFORMITY
At our bunion clinic in HK, we harness and put into practice the findings of cutting-edge bunion research. In the past century, there were over 150 different techniques that have been developed to treat bunion deformity all over the world. However, the new techniques were introduced to correct the shortcomings of older techniques, without truly addressing a bunion’s root cause. Unsurprisingly, they resulted in more shortcomings because they treat only the symptom and not the actual problem. At our bunion Hong Kong center, we believe the solution lies in the common Chinese saying to “treat according to pathology.”

About Dr.
Daniel Wu
With years of experience in studying and treating bunion deformity, Dr. Daniel Wu first encountered an Italian bunion procedure called “Osteodesis” during his surgical residency at McMaster University back in 1980. Realizing bunions are actually a ligament issue, Osteodesis made complete sense to him as an advantageous bunion treatment. This chance encounter would go on to shape Dr. Wu's passion for and devotion to the further advancement of our Syndesmosis procedure today. If you’d like to consult with a bunion doctor in HK, please contact Dr. Wu to schedule an appointment.
ABOUT OUR BUNION CLINIC IN HK – FAQs:
1. How are bunions conventionally treated?
Conventionally, bunion deformity is treated with a surgical technique that can be described as a “bone-breaking” procedure. Bunion doctors in HK typically shave the enlarged bone, cut it, and reposition it in a way that offers temporary relief and comfort from bunion pain.
2. What procedure is used to correct bunion deformity at your center?
At our bunion center in HK, our approach differs from the traditional bone-breaking procedures to treat bunions in Hong Kong. Instead, we understand with bunions the actual problem is displaced bones due to their incompetent ligaments. To treat bunion deformity, we realign displaced normal bones with surgical sutures without breaking them and prevent bunion recurrence by effectively addressing the incompetent ligament problem.
3. Who is eligible for the Syndesmosis bunion HK treatment?
Normally, patients who are experiencing the following symptoms can consider undergoing our no-bone-breaking procedure to thoroughly correct the bunion deformity:
