Even with link to clinic's sales site removed article is still borderline WP:SPAM. Prod contested by creator. Top Jim (talk) 10:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems to be a neologism used only by this one doctor for removing bunions. Sources are self-referential, and there is no evidence that this "procedure" has passed into the medical mainstream. The word Syndesmosis relates to a way that bones are connected. At Google it is mainly used in reference to ankles and ankle injuries, not bunions. --MelanieN (talk) 15:41, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
