Why Minimally Invasive?

Traditional Open Surgery

5–10cm incision. Significant tissue disruption. 6–8 weeks recovery. Months before return to activity.

MIS Approach

3mm incisions. Minimal tissue disruption. Walking same day. Return to shoes in weeks, not months.

Traditional Scarring

Visible long scar along the top of the foot. Permanent reminder of the procedure.

MIS Scarring

Multiple 3mm entry points, barely visible once healed. Most patients report minimal awareness of scars.

How It Works

1
Anesthesia
Ankle block numbs the foot. You may be awake or lightly sedated.
2
Micro-Incisions
Several 3mm incisions allow access for specialized instruments not used in open surgery.
3
Real-Time Imaging
Fluoroscopic guidance confirms precise alignment throughout the procedure.
4
Recovery
Walking in a surgical shoe the same day. Most patients return to regular shoes within 3–6 weeks.

Conditions Treated with MIS

Not all deformities are candidates for MIS, but most common forefoot conditions are. A consultation includes imaging to confirm whether MIS is appropriate for your case.
