Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery (MIS)

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) utilizes advanced surgical techniques and specialized instrumentation to treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions through small incisions. Compared to traditional open procedures, MIS techniques are designed to minimize disruption to surrounding soft tissue, which may help reduce postoperative pain, swelling, and recovery time.

MIS procedures can be used to address both simple and complex deformities and injuries of the foot and ankle. Using fluoroscopic imaging and specialized surgical equipment, your foot and ankle specialist is able to perform precise correction while limiting surgical exposure.

Your physician will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your pain or deformity. Imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be obtained when appropriate. Conservative treatment options are typically attempted prior to surgical intervention and may include orthotics, shoe modifications, injections, bracing, physical therapy, or activity modification.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques may be utilized for a variety of conditions, including:

- Bunion deformities (Hallux Valgus)
- Hammertoes and lesser toe deformities
- Tailor’s bunions (Bunionettes)
- Metatarsalgia and forefoot pain
- Bone spurs and exostoses
- Arthritis of the foot and ankle
- Tendon and ligament pathology
- Certain fractures and sports injuries
- Flatfoot and cavus foot deformities
- Joint fusion procedures

During your consultation, your physician will discuss whether minimally invasive surgery is an appropriate option for your condition, as well as the expected recovery process and postoperative care.
