Minimally Invasive Surgery ( MIS),for Foot & Ankle
MISfor foot and ankle conditions involves advanced techniques that use small incisions and specialized instruments to treat injuries and deformities. This approach reduces tissue damage, minimizes scarring, and promotes faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. MIS is commonly used to treat conditions like bunions, hammertoes, fractures, ligament injuries, flat feet and arthritis.
Indications for Minimally Invasive Surgeries;
A. Ligament and Tendon Repairs Patients with chronic ankle instability or Achilles tendon injuries may benefit from MIS techniques, which involve small incisions and the use of arthroscopic tools for repair. Arthritis and Joint Preservation For patients with arthritis or joint degeneration, MIS arthroscopic procedures such as joint fusion or cartilage repair can help alleviate pain and restore mobility. Arthroscopy surgery is helpful including cartilage defects and impingements in the ankle joint. Endoscopic Procedures for plantar fasciitis Heel pain is quite helpful in case of failure of non operative management.
Surgical Recovery
Recovery after minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery is generally quicker compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients experience significant improvements within three months and can gradually return to normal activities. However, complications may arise during the rehabilitation phase, including temporary stiffness, swelling, or minor wound healing issues. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions, including wearing protective footwear, engaging in physical therapy, and gradually increasing activity levels. Regular follow-ups with the surgeon ensure proper healing and long-term success of the procedure.
