Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery

Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery

Gentle on your feet. Powerful in results.

At Prestige Podiatry Care, we specialize in minimally invasive foot surgery—a modern surgical approach that corrects many common foot conditions with less trauma, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. Our goal is simple: provide lasting relief with the least interruption to your life.

From bunions and hammertoes to painful calluses, heel pain, and diabetic ulcers, we use advanced techniques through tiny incisions to restore foot function—often as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day.

What Is Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery (MIS)?

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) uses small, precise incisions and specially designed instruments to treat structural foot problems while avoiding damage to surrounding tissues. Most procedures require little to no stitches, and because the exposure to the surgical field is minimal, there’s less swelling, less pain, and faster healing.

This innovative technique traces back to Dr. Morton Polokoff in the 1940s, who pioneered subdermal surgery using small tools. Since then, MIS has evolved into a safe and sophisticated option thanks to decades of advancement, professional training, and a growing community of skilled surgeons dedicated to its art.

Is Minimally Invasive Surgery Effective?

Yes—and not just in theory. Thousands of podiatrists around the world are now trained in MIS. Organizations like The Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery support its growth, innovation, and patient success stories.

As our colleagues at the Coeur d’Alene Foot & Ankle Clinic put it:
“Painful bunions, heel spurs, and contracted toes can be corrected without incapacitating the patient. Through the years, the technique has developed into a cost-effective, state-of-the-art solution that helps people walk away from pain—literally.”

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery

Less Soft Tissue Trauma

Small incisions mean less disruption to surrounding muscles, ligaments, and skin.

Reduced Pain

Patients typically report significantly less post-operative pain—and require fewer pain medications.

Faster Recovery

Many procedures are done in under an hour, and most patients are up and walking shortly afterward.

No General Anesthesia

Most surgeries are performed with local anesthesia, so the foot sleeps—but you don’t. This makes MIS accessible for more patients, especially those at risk with general anesthesia.

Minimal Scarring

Smaller incisions = smaller, less noticeable scars.

Outpatient Convenience

You go home the same day, with follow-ups designed around your comfort and mobility.
