Invasive Foot & Ankle Specialists | United Foot Surgeons

Wiki Article

When it comes to foot and ankle health, the need for expert care is paramount. At United Foot Surgeons, we are proud to offer cutting-edge, minimally invasive solutions for a variety of foot and ankle conditions. Our specialists are dedicated to helping patients recover faster, with less pain, and with a quicker return to their daily activities.

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an advanced technique that allows our surgeons to perform complex procedures with smaller incisions and less disruption to the surrounding tissues. Traditional surgeries often require large incisions, longer recovery times, and higher risks of complications. In contrast, minimally invasive procedures focus on smaller incisions, precision techniques, and quicker healing times.

By utilizing the latest technology, such as advanced imaging, endoscopes, and tiny instruments, our team at United Foot Surgeons can treat a range of conditions more effectively, with a focus on reducing trauma to the foot and ankle. This allows patients to experience faster recovery times and lower post-surgical discomfort.

Conditions We Treat with Minimally Invasive Techniques

At United Foot Surgeons, we specialize in treating a wide array of foot and ankle problems using minimally invasive methods, including:

1. Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
   Bunions are one of the most common foot deformities. Traditional surgery for bunions often requires significant downtime. With our minimally invasive techniques, we can correct the deformity with smaller incisions, leading to less swelling, scarring, and a faster recovery time.

2. Hammertoes
   Hammertoes can cause pain and difficulty walking. Our specialists can perform minimally invasive procedures to straighten the toes with smaller incisions, ensuring a more comfortable healing process.

3. Achilles Tendonitis and Tears
   Chronic Achilles tendon pain can significantly affect mobility. We use minimally invasive methods to treat tendonitis and repair tears, allowing for quicker recovery and improved outcomes.

4. Ankle Instability
   Recurrent ankle sprains or chronic ankle instability can result in long-term damage if not properly addressed. Through minimally invasive surgery, we can stabilize the ankle with smaller incisions, leading to less pain and a faster return to activity.

5. Plantar Fasciitis
   Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that affects the heel. We offer minimally invasive techniques to release the tension in the plantar fascia, providing relief with minimal downtime.

6. Foot Fractures
   Foot fractures can require surgical intervention, but with minimally invasive procedures, we can reduce the incision size, promote faster healing, and allow for earlier mobilization.

The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery

There are several key advantages to choosing minimally invasive techniques over traditional open surgery:

• Smaller Incisions: Reduces scarring and decreases the risk of infection.
• Less Pain: Smaller incisions and less trauma to surrounding tissues result in less postoperative pain and discomfort.
• Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience a shorter recovery period, with many being able to resume normal activities much sooner than with traditional surgery.
• Reduced Risk of Complications: The minimally invasive nature of the procedures lowers the risk of complications like infection or blood loss.
• Better Cosmetic Outcomes: Smaller scars and less visible scarring contribute to better cosmetic results.
