MINIMALLY INVASIVE FOOT AND ANKLE SURGERY

Our number one goal in helping treat your foot and ankle condition is to reduce your risk and improve your outcome. Minimally invasive surgery can effectively treat many painful foot and ankle issues, including bunions, hammer toes, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon disorders, arthritis, and more. Dr Milliron will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if minimally invasive surgery is an option for your specific condition.

BUNIONS

A bunion is a common deformity where there is malalignment of one of the most important joints in the foot. Surgery for a bunion can be complex, as there are many procedure options available, and the appropriate choice is based on many factors, including the severity of the deformity, age and function of the patient, and the x-ray examination. The decision requires a comprehensive evaluation to determine the appropriate procedure choice for your specific needs.

HAMMER TOES

A hammer toe is a common deformity where there is contracture of a toe causing pain. It can lead to pain anywhere on the affected toe from the top to the tip. Surgical options may be available, as there are many procedures. The appropriate choice is based on many factors, including the severity of the deformity, age and function of the patient, the x-ray examination, and the type of hammer toe. The decision requires a comprehensive evaluation to determine the choice for your specific needs.

TENDON or SOFT TISSUE PROBLEMS

Tendon or soft tissue problems, like neuromas, can be painful and affect your life and activity level. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine the location and extent of the problem and will likely require an MRI. Based on your issue, there may be minimally invasive options available, such as TENJET or TENEX. Some regenerative treatment adjuncts like AMNIOTIC or PRP INJECTIONS may help regenerate tissue and improve recovery.

BONE PROBLEMS

Bone problems, like spurs and arthritis, can be painful and affect your life and activity level. Genetic predisposition, repetitive activities, history of injuries and major joint replacements can accelerate the speed at which a person will develop a bone problem. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to gather more detail and determine the extent of the problem. The workup may also require imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan. Based on your issue, there may be minimally invasive options available. Some regenerative treatment adjuncts like AMNIOTIC or PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) INJECTIONS may help regenerate tissue and improve recovery.
