The Unfamiliar Complications of Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery.

Abstract

Over the last 5 years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has seen a significant surge, propelled by advancements in surgical equipment, implants, methodologies, and comprehensive education. The introduction of specialized hardware and advanced bone-cutting burrs has contributed to a reduction in complications. Evidence from peer-reviewed studies suggests that the outcomes of MIS are often on par with, and at times surpass, those of traditional surgical methods. In the context of MIS, certain complications are specifically linked to the use of burrs and hardware, the types of deformities being addressed, and the tools utilized. This article aims to discuss these complications associated with MIS.
