Contributions to medical research and practice are continuously advancing patient care and improving the healing process. The surgeons at Upstate Orthopedics are leaders in orthopedic medical research, surgical skills, academic leadership, and professional service.
Minimally invasive procedures are one way in which surgeons are revolutionizing foot and ankle care, offering quicker recovery, smaller incisions, and less pain for many common foot and ankle conditions.
What Does “Minimally Invasive” Mean?
With new technology and equipment, procedures have been developed that treat pain at its source with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional open surgeries, specialized instruments and real-time imaging allow for smaller entry points and reduced involvement of nearby structures to treat the injury and produce lasting results.
Why Choose Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- Reduced pain and scarring
- Faster recovery time
- Lower risk of infection
- Outpatient procedure (in most cases)
- Quicker return to daily activities
