Step by step and stronger than before, successful minimally-invasive bunion surgery allows Stephanie Klipple to get back outside and enjoy her favorite activities, including walking and hiking. Photos by Todd Seip, UCHealth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Growing up, daily adventurous treks at her grandmother\u2019s house overseas sparked Stephanie Klipple\u2019s love for outdoor adventures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born and raised in Philippines, and during the summer we would go to visit my grandparent’s house,\u201d said Klipple. \u201cIt was in a rural area of the country surrounded by rice paddy tiers and balconies. We would climb up and down all day long, sometimes for miles, carrying supplies back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now living in Colorado, Klipple\u2019s physical and mental health self-care therapy includes weekly hikes on nearby trails and paths<\/a>. She lists Seven Bridges Trail in North Cheyenne Canon and Pancake Rocks near Cripple Creek as her nearby favorites.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know pretty much all the trails,” said Klipple. \u201cThe Seven Bridges terrain can be challenging, but the scenery is so beautiful. The hike follows a creek in North Cheyenne Canon and along the way, you cross over seven wooden bridges. It is absolutely amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Klipple continued to train and explore more difficult trails, she noticed discomfort and pain in her left foot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pain from my bunion prevented me from hiking long distances. It was especially worse descending from long hikes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe. It often causes the big toe to push against the adjacent toe, causing pain and discomfort. Bunionectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the bunion.<\/p>\n

Over the last three years, Klipple\u2019s pain continued to get worse and then started to affect her walking gait, leading to hip and lower back pain. Last year, she decided that the time was right to take a break from hiking and seek relief from Dr. Mark Maurer<\/a> at UCHealth Foot and Ankle Clinic in Pueblo.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.
Dr. Mark Maurer, who is trained in minimally-invasive bunion surgery, understands the complexities of foot and ankle injuries. He is an avid runner and completed his first marathon in St. George, Utah in 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI chose Parkview because I know the hospital and the nurses who work with Dr. Maurer,\u201d said Klipple. \u201cHe came highly recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klipple’s surgery consisted of a left bunionectomy with metatarsal osteotomy and a left hallux proximal phalangeal osteotomy.<\/p>\n

Maurer is trained in minimally-invasive bunion surgery done through small incisions with specialized instruments. A metatarsal osteotomy involves cutting and reshaping the bone in the middle of the foot to properly align it. This allows for the shifting of bones to fix the foot deformity.<\/p>\n

In some cases of large bunions, a second procedure, the hallux phalangeal osteotomy, is needed. Maurer cut and, using a screw, realigned Klipple’s phalanx bone of the big toe. This was done to correct the angle of the big toe, which had become misaligned due to the bunion. This newer bunion correction technique has allowed Klipple to recover faster with less scaring and stiffness compared to traditional bunion surgery.<\/p>\n

Klipple said the surgery went very well and her recovery went smoothly. Seven weeks after the surgery, she was back on the trail and going on easy hikes in Red Rock Canyon open space. She was also back to lifting weights and strength training at the gym.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo pain,\u201d said Klipple. \u201cAfter so many years of constant agony, I feel like a whole new person. Uphill, downhill, stairs, slopes, no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

She recently climbed the Manitou Incline and Mt. Muscoco in North Cheyenne Canon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can now enjoy the sights and sounds of the wilderness. I can now look up instead of always looking down worrying about my foot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klipple\u2019s future goals include climbing more Colorado 14-ers, and she is also currently in muscle-building and endurance training for a bodybuilding competition next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to live with foot pain. I honestly waited too long,\u201d said Klipple. \u201cMy quality of life has been restored thanks to Dr. Maurer and his team. I am enjoying all the activities I love because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pain associated with bunions can vary in intensity depending on factors such as the size of the bunion, footwear choices, underlying joint health, and individual pain thresholds. Treatment options range from conservative measures such as wearing properly fitted shoes and using orthotic inserts to surgical intervention for more severe cases. It is essential for individuals experiencing bunion pain to consult with a health care professional for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.<\/p>\n
