PERCUTANEOUS SURGERY AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY
Percutaneous surgery and minimally invasive surgery – MIS (“Minimal Incision Surgery”) – of the foot are surgical techniques that we use at icatpie to treat various pathologies of the bones and soft tissues, achieving excellent results.
Percutaneous surgery and MIS allow interventions through minimal incisions, without directly exposing the surgical planes. This type of procedure significantly reduces complications, leaves almost no scars, and shortens post-surgical rehabilitation and recovery processes.
Percutaneous surgery and minimally invasive surgery are not indicated for all pathologies. The team at icatpie will evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable surgical technique.
The pathologies that can be treated with percutaneous surgery or MIS include:
- Toe deformities such as claw toes or hammer toes.
- Mild hallux valgus (bunion).
- Quintus varus or tailor’s bunion.
- Morton’s neuroma (interdigital neuroma, plantar neuroma).
- Metatarsalgia: pain in the ball of the foot that can lead to difficulty walking or playing sports.
- Heel spur: calcification in the heel as a consequence of chronic plantar fasciitis.
