What is Foot & Ankle Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)?

Minimally Invasive Foot and Ankle Surgery (MIFAS), also called Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS), is an advanced surgical technique that allows doctors to treat various foot and ankle problems through very small cuts in the skin.

Instead of making a large incision, the surgeon uses tiny openings—sometimes as small as 3 mm. With tiny incisions, patients experience less pain, heal faster, and have fewer chances of getting an infection.
