Ok so I've read and HEARD alot about the hyped "Cinderella procedure". Many people had seen it on TV or read about it on the internet. Let me shed some light on the subject....
ITS THE SAME PROCEDURE WE HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS...
As far as I can see the so called "Cinderella Procedure" is just another way to surgically correct a bunion and a tailors bunion (or bump on the outside of the foot). There is nothing earth shattering and no new technology here. Just a fancy new name.
So if you have a painful bump near the big toe joint, ask yourself this...am I having pain that is worth undergoing surgery, have a tried changing to more comfortable shoes, do I have pain when I exercise or that stops me from doing something I love? If the answer is YES...then find yourself a qualified surgeon...ask friends, ask your primary care doctor for a referral. They will steer you in the right direction. If that gets you no where visit www.apma.org where you can find a whole host of doctors who specialize in treatment of the foot and ankle.
