Procedure

Minimally invasive foot surgery involves performing surgical procedures through smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. This technique uses specialized instruments and advanced imaging technologies to operate with greater precision. The procedure typically includes the following steps:

1. Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably, and local or general anesthesia is administered based on the procedure and patient needs.
2. Incision: Instead of a large incision, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the affected area. These incisions are just large enough to allow the insertion of specialized surgical instruments.
3. Surgical Intervention: Using these instruments, the surgeon performs the necessary repairs or corrections, guided by imaging techniques such as endoscopy. This allows for precise treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
4. Closure: The small incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips, and a sterile bandage is applied.
5. Recovery: Post-surgical care involves monitoring the patient’s condition and providing instructions for home care, including wound care and mobility restrictions.

Used for Treating

Minimally invasive foot surgery is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including:

1. Bunions: Correcting the alignment of the big toe joint.
2. Hammertoes: Straightening abnormal toe positions.
3. Plantar Fasciitis: Reducing inflammation and relieving heel pain.
4. Morton’s Neuroma: Removing or alleviating pain from the nerve compression between the toes.
5. Foot Fractures: Repairing fractures with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

Benefits

Minimally invasive foot surgery offers numerous benefits over traditional surgical approaches, including:

1. Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions result in less trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to reduced postoperative pain.
2. Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience a quicker recovery time and can return to their normal activities sooner.
3. Minimal Scarring: The smaller incisions result in less noticeable scarring compared to larger surgical wounds.
4. Lower Risk of Infection: Reduced surgical exposure decreases the risk of postoperative infections.
5. Improved Function: The precision of minimally invasive techniques often leads to better functional outcomes and less disruption of foot mechanics.

Post-Treatment Guidelines

Following minimally invasive foot surgery, adhering to post-treatment guidelines is crucial for a successful recovery. Our comprehensive guidelines include:

1. Wound Care: Keep the surgical site clean and dry. Follow specific instructions for changing dressings and monitoring for signs of infection.
2. Pain Management: Use prescribed pain medications as directed and manage discomfort with ice therapy if recommended.
3. Mobility Restrictions: Follow instructions regarding weight-bearing and activity restrictions. Use crutches or a walker if advised.
4. Physical Therapy: Engage in physical therapy as prescribed to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility.
5. Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing progress and address any concerns.
