What Kind Of Foot Problems Can Be Treated With Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery?


Toronto Podiatrist Sheldon Nadal discusses Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery.

What is minimally invasive foot surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery is a philosophy and set of techniques that allow podiatrists to treat common foot problems using specially designed instruments which allow us to work through smaller openings in the skin compared to conventional hospital surgery. This results in less soft tissue trauma, which usually means less pain, less disability and a quicker return to normal activities for you, the patient.
It has also been referred to as minimal incision foot surgery, minimum incision foot surgery, and ambulatory foot surgery.

What kind of foot problems can be treated with minimally invasive foot surgery?
I have been using minimally invasive foot surgery to treat bunions, hammertoes, corns on the outside of toes (hard corns) and between toes (soft corns), calluses, bone spurs, metatarsal pain and ingrown toenails in my Toronto podiatry office, using local anaesthetic, for more than thirty years.

What are the advantages of minimally invasive foot surgery?
In addition to less pain, swelling and disability due to less soft tissue work, the procedures can be performed in an office with local anaesthetic. This means that the procedures are more cost effective because expensive hospital beds are not needed. Also, local anesthetic is considered to be safer than general anesthetic. Casts and crutches are rarely necessary. You can walk out of my office with an adhesive tape dressing and a special sandal. Instead of narcotic analgesics which can have side effects, most people will just need Aspirin, Tylenol or Ibuprofen for discomfort,. Because you can walk immediately, you are less likely to have complications such as phlebitis or blood clots.

Where can I have these procedures performed?
The number of podiatrists who offer these techniques in North America is small but, thanks to the Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery based in Philadelphia PA, the number is growing world-wide. I am a trustee of the Academy and am a clinical instructor. We run instructional courses once or twice a year where we train podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Orthopedic surgeons from Latin America and Europe have eagerly embraced our techniques. As European orthopedists enthusiastically write about our procedures, more North American podiatrists and orthopedists are taking notice.
I have been performing these procedures for more than thirty years.
