Foot Surgeon Offers Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
Monday, December 22, 2025
A bunion occurs when the first metatarsal in your big toe rotates out of alignment. This causes your big toe to turn inward against your other toes, and the metatarsal at the base of your big toe to jut outward. This deformity can cause stabbing pain, redness, swelling and difficulty walking and wearing shoes.
Some studies show that as many as one-third of adults in the US have some degree of bunion deformity. It’s unlikely that many bunions will reverse on their own without surgical intervention.
Traditional surgical treatments have involved long incisions, intrusive realignment efforts, and a lengthy period of recovery.
Watson Clinic board-certified
Podiatric Surgeon Dr. Zully Calvo is pleased to offer a new procedure called an
Arthrex Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy. This groundbreaking surgical approach offers a wealth of benefits including:
- A much smaller incision that leaves only a tiny, oftentimes imperceptible scar.
- A correction of the bunion deformity through highly advanced, pin-sized instrumentation.
- Significantly less postoperative pain, swelling and stiffness.
- A recovery period that’s up to 8 weeks faster than traditional bunion surgery.
Dr. Calvo treats patients from Watson Clinic South at 1033 N. Parkway Frontage Rd. in Lakeland. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Calvo by calling 863-680-7214 or visiting WatsonClinic.com/Calvo and find out if you’re a candidate for the procedure.

Dr. Calvo performed this procedure on my foot in November 2025. I have been so pleased with Dr. Calvo and my surgical and post-op progress. She is an excellent doctor, taking time to explain the process and answer all of my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Calvo.
