Foot conditions can produce pain and discomfort. They can be cosmetically unappealing and distract one from enjoying life, mobility, hobbies, time with family, and more. Podiatrists have offered treatment options for foot and ankle conditions for centuries, but these have traditionally come with long recovery times, risky side effects, even horror stories.

Not at The Art of Foot & Ankle.

“No screws, plates, or permanent pins!” The Art of Foot & Ankle uses that line as its mantra because, as the best foot surgeon in Birmingham, Michigan, we utilize an entirely revolutionary approach to foot surgery called minimally invasive foot surgery. This operation allows patients to walk the same day as their operation with just a post-operative shoe.

No cast, boot, crutches, cane, or knee scooter needed.

What is Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery?

Minimally invasive foot surgery treats foot conditions with precision and minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues, bones, nerves, ligaments, and muscles. The operation is performed using a tiny incision at the treatment site, about three millimeters (1/8 of an inch) long. From there, the best foot surgeon in Michigan, Dr. Ashim Wadehra, uses specialized instruments to address the underlying foot problem.

Why are Patients Increasingly Seeking Minimally Invasive Podiatry Care?

Patients with foot conditions seek modern, highly specialized foot surgery because it is preferred to open surgery, offering superior, immediate benefits and improved long-term results. Top-rated foot surgeons in Michigan, like Dr. Wadehra, utilize revolutionary treatments, such as minimally invasive foot surgery, to deliver those results for their patients.

Conditions Treated by Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery

What are some of the foot conditions that can be treated using minimally invasive foot surgery? To name a few:

Bunions

Bunions are tough, bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe, often developing over time due to genetics, improper footwear, and daily foot stress. They can become painful over time and may even reduce mobility.

Tailor’s Bunions

Similar to bunions, tailor’s bunions form at the base of the pinky toe. They can cause pain and make finding comfortable footwear next to impossible

Hammertoes

Hammertoes are defined as one or more toes bending down as opposed to lying flat. They may develop over time due to one or more toes being much longer than the others, one or more toes being affected by muscle imbalances, or by one or more toes being impacted by poorly-fitting footwear.

Heel and Bone Spurs

Spurs refer to calcium deposits that develop on bones, often at the edge of bones or near joints. They are a result of the body’s efforts to repair damage from impact, injury, physical stress, pressure, or osteoarthritis. Bone spurs often develop in high-impact, high-use areas, such as the heels, spine, shoulders, hips, knees, hands, and fingers.

A New Approach to Foot Surgery That’s Revolutionizing Podiatric Care

We at the Art of Food & Ankle believe that minimally invasive foot surgery is the future of podiatry operations. There is simply nothing like it. Minimally invasive foot surgery delivers the same results as traditional foot surgery, and even better, without the discomfort, loss of mobility, or long recovery times.

Why is minimally invasive foot surgery now considered the best foot surgery available? For example:

There is minimal pain and swelling involved in minimally invasive foot surgery.The tiny incision is not creating trauma to the region being addressed by the surgery, quite unlike traditional surgery, which requires a much larger incision.

It is much less likely for a post-operative infection to develop. The small, three millimeter incision poses far less risk of post-operative infection than traditional surgical operations.

Swelling time is significantly reduced in minimally invasive foot surgery. Especially for bunions and hammertoes, a minimally invasive approach shortens recovery time from up to one year to just a few weeks.

A minimally invasive approach reduces the risk of blood clots. Life-threatening blood clots can form when a patient does not walk for an extended period, but with minimally invasive foot surgery, patients walk immediately after the procedure, promoting healthy blood flow.

Only local anesthesia is needed during minimally invasive foot surgery. Patients don’t need to be put under during this type of foot surgery. A local anesthetic is all that’s needed.

Minimally invasive foot surgery is more aesthetic. Because the incision is so small and so unobtrusive, the end product is more appealing visually.
