Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery

Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery in Homer Glen

Traditional foot surgery often involves large incisions, extensive soft tissue disruption, significant postoperative swelling, and extended downtime. With Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), Dr. Vittori utilizes specialized micro-instruments and live digital fluoroscopic imaging to perform precise bone and joint corrections through tiny, "keyhole" incisions.

Key Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery:

• Tiny Micro-Incisions: Minimal scarring, reduced postoperative swelling, and less tissue trauma.

• Significantly Less Pain: Reduced reliance on strong pain medications after surgery.

• Faster Weight-Bearing & Recovery: Most patients walk immediately or shortly after surgery in a protective boot.

• Outpatient Convenience: Performed under local or twilight anesthesia with no hospital stay required.

Common Conditions Corrected with MIS:

• Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction (Lapiplasty & Micro-osteotomy)

• Hammertoe & Claw Toe Straightening

• Heel Spur Resection & Plantar Fascia Release

• Metatarsal Osteotomies for Metatarsalgia

• Bone Spur Removal & Joint Preservation
