Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery: A Review and a Novel Technique Audio Poster

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, four doctors, Dr. Gary Stewart, Dr. Errol Bailey, Dr. Adesho Falue, and Dr. Uzoma Nwakibu, discuss common foot and ankle deformities that can be corrected with minimally invasive surgery. They focus on hallux valgus, bunionette, hammer toe, and pes planivalgus. They compare open techniques to minimally invasive techniques, noting that the latter allows for better correction of rotational deformities and promotes bone healing. However, there is a learning curve and limited evidence to recommend it over open techniques. The video also discusses the procedures for bunionette correction, hammer toe deformity, and pes planivalgus, including a new technique called the mini bear for progressive collapsing foot deformity. The doctors conclude that minimally invasive techniques are effective and have potential for the future.
