Minimally invasive surgical techniques were pioneered by Morton Polokoff, who in 1945, presented a system of subdermal surgery using very small instruments. Other foot surgeons later used the ideas of Dr. Polokoff in the 1960\u2032s, and in the 1970\u2032s the first course in minimally invasive surgery of the foot was taught at the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. In the 1980\u2032s and 1990\u2032s, Dr. Stephen Isham described techniques for the treatment of bunions and deformities of the lesser toes among other conditions. Over these same decades, orthopedic podologists related with the Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery (AAFAS) in Europe began performing MIS techniques. Foot and Ankle Surgeons in Spain especially have done much to add to the study and body of text regarding these techniques. Dr. Mariano de Prado published the most comprehensive of these texts in Spanish and English, Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery. This medical text was dedicated to Dr. Stephen A. Isham, and reads:<\/p>\n

Dr. Stephen A. Isham was a practitioner in Spokane, Washington for many years, and then at the Coeur d\u2019Alene Foot & Ankle Surgery Center from 1995 until his retirement in 2010. Dr. Isham devoted his career not only to practicing these techniques, but teaching MIS procedures at home and abroad. His influence is prominent in many Central American, South American, European and Asian countries. He has pioneered and published articles on many of the minimally invasive surgical procedures currently in use, and has received numerous honors worldwide for his work in this field.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#eaeaea” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” enable_shape_divider=”true” shape_divider_color=”#ffffff” shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”200″ shape_divider_bring_to_front=”true” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”waves_opacity_alt”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-12-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”50″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”accent-color” animate=”yes” custom_height=”40″ delay=”600″][vc_column_text]\n

As in other surgical specialties, the trend in foot and ankle surgery is towards adopting minimally invasive (aka percutaneous minimal incision) techniques. Traditional or open surgical techniques are often performed in a hospital under general anesthesia and typically require large incisions and more aggressive techniques to effectively resolve the different pathological elements producing foot deformities. A major factor in recovery time and discomfort is the amount of tissue that has been involved by the incision and the risk of surgery is multiplied by general anesthesia.<\/p>\n

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), allow for interventions to be carried out through extremely small skin incisions thus causing minimal injury to the adjacent tissues thereby decreasing healing time and achieving the best cosmetic result. Radiographic (fluoroscopic) visualization is used during the procedure to guide the surgical maneuvers.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”74″ background_image_position=”center center” background_image_stacking=”default” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”100″ bottom_padding=”100″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”270″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”default” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”accent-color” animate=”yes” custom_height=”60″][vc_column_text]\n

Ambulatory foot surgery, in most instances, is performed in an office or an outpatient surgical center under local anesthesia meaning just the foot is numb but the patient is awake during the whole procedure.<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of the surgery, a few stitches may be used to close the opening and a small bandage protects the area. In many cases no stitches are required. The patient leaves the office walking, and in many instances in his own shoes! The condition has been corrected, the patient remains ambulatory and discomfort and prolonged disability have been minimized.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”100″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#eaeaea” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” enable_shape_divider=”true” shape_divider_color=”#ffffff” shape_divider_position=”both” shape_divider_height=”200″ shape_divider_bring_to_front=”true” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”waves_opacity_alt”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”5%” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Today, ambulatory foot surgery is a developed art. Over 2,000 international physicians and surgeons specializing in this technique are members of The Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery, and with each year the number increases. The triangular academy seal depicts its dedication to ambulation, rehabilitation, and education. Ambulation \u2013 The patient who can walk into the surgeon\u2019s office can walk out. Rehabilitation \u2013 Restoring the patient to good foot health without loss of productivity at the lowest possible cost. Education \u2013 Continued research into techniques and instruments for minimal incision surgery It is now over forty years since the original pioneers began the development of this art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
The Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery sought the means of ending discomfort and suffering for a wider cross section of the population. They reasoned that if the necessity for hospitalization and prolonged disability was eliminated, more people could afford to avail themselves of these advanced services. As their development progressed they found that it was rarely necessary to incapacitate their patients. Painful bunions, recurring corns, heel spurs, contracted toes and hammertoes were corrected by this new technique and the patients remained ambulatory. Through the years, physicians and surgeons made worthwhile contributions until today\u2019s state of the art, cost effective, minimally invasive foot surgery have become a reality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
