In the past, we talked about 15-20 years ago, having surgery on one foot, let’s put a “bunion” as an example, was a painful experience…

The patients were in excruciating pain and required several days of hospitalization. Likewise, his life was totally interrupted for weeks—work, social life, travel, sports— everything was relegated to the background for months.

For more than 20 years, we have been practicing Minimally invasive surgery (Also percutaneous surgery) in our daily practice to treat the most frequent conditions of forefoot surgery and more recently also in the back of it.

The deformities that benefit from these treatments are mainly:

• Hallux Valgus (Bunions)
• Hallux Rigidus (Osteoarthritis of the big toe)
• Claw and hammer toes
• Quintus varus (Tailor’s Bunion)
• Morton’s neuroma
• Metatarsalgia (Pain in the forefoot)

What is MIS or percutaneous surgery?

Through small incisions of less than half a centimetre, we accessed the bones and joints. We section the bones (osteotomies) to change the eyes and correct all of these deformities with the help of powerful X-ray equipment and special instruments.

Advantages of MIS Surgery

• Practice absence of postoperative pain. Not suffering.
• Outpatient procedures (Day Hospital)
• Loco-regional anaesthesia at the ankle level (No spinal anaesthesia whenever we can avoid it)
• Immediate ambulation
• Return to work activities from the first week (except in force work)
• A faster return to sports activities
• Excellent aesthetic and functional results

We offer 40 years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases through this type of surgery, in which we are among the pioneers and have contributed to the development and improvement of these surgical techniques. Numerous scientific publications, anatomical studies, and book chapters in our specialty. Numerous appearances as an expert at medical conventions.
