Minimally Invasive Surgery – Foot & Ankle

Minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery offers patients a faster recovery, smaller incisions, and less pain compared to traditional surgery, all while delivering the same lasting benefits.

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an advanced surgical technique that requires only small incisions to correct foot and ankle conditions. This approach reduces trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in less scarring and a quicker recovery period.

For patients suffering from common issues like bunions, hammertoes, or other foot deformities, MIS offers a less invasive way to realign bones, remove growths, or repair soft tissues. The precise methods used in MIS mean fewer complications and a smoother overall experience, allowing you to return to daily activities faster than traditional open surgeries.

Who is it for?

Minimally invasive surgery can benefit a wide range of patients, including those who:

• Have painful bunions or hammertoes
• Struggle with chronic foot or ankle pain from deformities
• Want to avoid large scars from traditional surgery
• Are looking for a faster recovery period
• Have recurring issues with corns, calluses, or soft tissue injuries
• Suffer from arthritis-related foot conditions
• Need relief from plantar fasciitis not responding to conservative treatments
• Are athletes looking to get back to sport quickly
• Have tried non-surgical treatments without success
• Want to minimize downtime from work or daily activities

What can I expect?

During your minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Greenblatt will use state-of-the-art tools and make small, precise incisions to correct the issue, such as reshaping bones or adjusting soft tissues.
