Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery

What Is Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery?

Minimally invasive foot surgery involves:

• Incisions as small as 2-5 millimeters
• Use of fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance
• No large cuts, no stitches (in most cases)
• Shorter procedure time and same-day discharge
• Faster return to walking and work

Conditions We Treat with Minimally Invasive Techniques

✅ Bunion Correction – Precise realignment of the 1st metatarsal using advanced MIS bunionectomy techniques
✅ Hammertoe Repair – Straightening of contracted toes with minimal disruption to tissue
✅ Morton’s Neuroma Excision – Targeted nerve decompression with less trauma
✅ Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Spurs – Endoscopic release of tight fascia or spur removal
✅ Tailor’s Bunion – Reduction of bony prominence at the 5th toe
✅ Bone Spurs & Corns – Shaving down painful pressure points
✅ Soft Tissue Masses – Removal of ganglion cysts or lipomas
✅ Chronic Tendon or Ligament Injuries – Using micro-repair techniques

Are You a Candidate?

We’ll perform a comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays or diagnostic ultrasound, to determine whether minimally invasive techniques are appropriate for your condition.

MIS procedures are ideal for:

• Healthy adults with mild to moderate deformities
• Patients seeking to avoid large incisions
• Those looking for faster recovery and better cosmetic outcomes
• Patients not responding to conservative care

Pairing with Other Therapies

We often combine MIS with:

• Custom orthotics to maintain correction
• Shockwave therapy to speed post-op healing
• Physical therapy to restore balance and gait
• Advanced wound care for diabetic patients needing minimally traumatic solutions
