Complications in minimally invasive foot surgery

Summary Minimally invasive foot surgery is a method that allows interventions causing minimal trauma to surrounding tissue through minimal incisions and without direct exposure of surgical planes. In some procedures radiological control is needed during intervention. The absence of direct visualization of the surgical field increases the risk of complications. It could produce injuries in the adjacent anatomical structures as for instance, the lack of precision in the surgical acts. For that reason precise knowledge of the diffent indications in foot surgery is important and an intensive training of the special percutaneous techniques is mandatory.
