What is MIS?
Minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to treat foot and ankle conditions. Depending on the procedure, a small camera or X-ray guidance helps your surgeon work precisely while limiting disruption to nearby tissues.
The advantages of MIS
Smaller incisions. Smaller scars. The potential for an easier early recovery.
Small-incision treatment: Specialized techniques allow treatment through small openings, limiting disruption to surrounding tissues.
Smaller scars: Smaller incisions can mean less visible scarring.
Early recovery: Depending on the procedure and individual, MIS may allow an easier early recovery.
A decade of MIS experience

MIS options for foot and ankle conditions
These are just a few examples of Dr. Han’s MIS procedures. He also provides a broader range of foot and ankle treatments. If your concern is not listed here, book a consultation to discuss your needs and the available options.
Bunion correction (bunionectomy)
Painful bunions can make shoes uncomfortable and walking difficult. Small-incision bunion correction realigns the bones around the big toe. Dr. Han can assess your bunion and discuss the approach that fits your needs.

Hammertoe correction
A bent, painful toe can rub against shoes and interfere with daily activity. Selected hammertoe deformities can be treated through small incisions. Your evaluation considers the toe’s flexibility, the joints and tendons involved, and your symptoms.

Haglund’s resection
A bony prominence at the back of the heel can irritate the area around the Achilles tendon. Minimally invasive or endoscopic techniques can remove the prominence in selected cases. Your evaluation includes the condition of the Achilles tendon to guide treatment.

Ankle arthroscopy (ankle scope)
A small camera and instruments allow treatment inside the ankle through small openings. Arthroscopy can address selected problems such as impingement, loose fragments, inflamed joint lining and cartilage injuries.
