Minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery is performed through "key hole" incisions. Using special instruments and cameras along with
intra-operative x-rays, your doctor can access the damaged areas and protect the surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments.
BENEFITS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a technique that uses smaller and fewer incisions during surgery to minimizing damage to muscle, tendons, ligaments and surrounding structures. This approach leads to less pain and scarring and often, faster recovery from surgery. Minimally invasive surgery returns you to your life and activities quicker and decreases the need for pain medication.
Other benefits of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery include:
* Less swelling
* Decreased wound infections
* Less blood loss
* Less post-operative pain
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Some of the procedures which can be effectively treated through minimally invasive surgery include, but are not limited to:
