Minimally Invasive Foot and Ankle Surgery

Your podiatrist will work with you to find a suitable treatment. In addition to standard therapies, podiatrists offer minimal incision surgery (MIS).

MIS is an alternative to standard open surgical procedures. With MIS, there is decreased pain and less scarring than open surgical procedures. MIS may shorten your recovery period, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner. Ask your podiatrist if MIS is an option for you.
