CME OnDemand: Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for the Hindfoot and Ankle-Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for the Hindfoot and Ankle

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The first speaker in the video is Dr. Miki del Mal Pastor, who discusses the benefits of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery and emphasizes the importance of anatomical knowledge. He talks about ankle arthroscopy and the different portals used for the procedure, as well as the surgical approach for calcaneal osteotomy. Dr. del Mal Pastor also shares his recent publications related to ankle ligament repair and redefining ankle arthroscopic anatomy.<br /><br />The second speaker, Dr. Lorena Bejarano-Pineda, focuses on the treatment options for cavus varus foot deformity. She discusses the approaches for flexible and rigid deformities, including minimally invasive techniques like plantar fascia release and tendon transfers. Dr. Bejarano-Pineda also explains the indications, contraindications, and surgical techniques for percutaneous triple arthrodesis for rigid deformities. She highlights the importance of preoperative planning, patient positioning, and avoiding excessive bone resection.<br /><br />Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of advanced concepts in minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery. It covers various techniques, such as using medial accessory portals, fixations with screws, and specific incision portals for different procedures. The speakers also discuss recovery protocols and the advantages of minimally invasive techniques, including decreased post-operative pain and faster recovery. The possibility of using percutaneous techniques for triple arthrodesis, sub-taloid joint fusion, and Charcot foot deformities is also explored, with an emphasis on minimizing scar size, blood loss, and operating time.<br /><br />Credits: <br />- Dr. Miki del Mal Pastor, Foot and Ankle Surgeon <br />- Dr. Lorena Bejarano-Pineda, Foot and Ankle Surgeon
