Minimally invasive foot surgery is performed through very small incisions (usually 2–3 mm) instead of a large incision. The surgeon works between the tissues and uses X-ray guidance to precisely direct bones and instruments. This results in less tissue damage, reduced pain and swelling, and faster rehabilitation.

Hallux valgus correction
A percutaneous hallux valgus correction is a minimally invasive surgical technique that corrects the misalignment of the big toe through small incisions in the skin.
Hallux rigidus literally means “stiff big toe”. It is a form of wear and tear (osteoarthritis) of the big toe joint where the cartilage gradually disappears.
