Naples Daily News Highlights Arthrex Minimally Invasive Bunion Innovation

Advances in bunion care took center stage in a recent Naples Daily News guest contributor column authored by orthopedic surgeon Richard J. de Asla, MD (Naples, FL).

In the article, “The Innovators Behind Advanced Bunion Surgery, Right Here in Southwest Florida,” Dr. de Asla highlights the Arthrex Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy System and explains how the technology allows surgeons to correct bunion deformities through small “pinhole” incisions while preserving healthy tissue.

Dr. de Asla, who practices at Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH), notes that the system enables surgeons to customize each correction to the patient’s unique anatomy. He also cites clinical research showing that patients treated with the system may recover up to eight weeks faster, on average, than those undergoing traditional open procedures, with minimal visible scarring.

The column also highlights the growing adoption of minimally invasive bunion correction and Arthrex’s commitment to developing innovative technologies that help surgeons treat their patients better.
