New Techniques for Foot and Ankle Repair – Valencia Foot & Ankle Center

Minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery is performed through “key hole” incisions. Using spe-cial instruments and cameras along with intra-operative x-rays, your doctor can access the damaged areas and protect the surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments.
BENEFITS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a technique that uses smaller and fewer incisions during surgery to minimizing damage to muscle, tendons, ligaments and surrounding structures. This approach leads to less pain and scarring and often, faster recovery from surgery. Minimally in-vasive surgery returns you to your life and activities quicker and decreases the need for pain medication.
Other benefits of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery include:
* Less swelling
* Decreased wound infections
* Less blood loss
* Less post-operative pain
