Abstract

Since the mid-2010s, the use of Shannon burrs for osteotomies and other bony procedures has facilitated the widespread adoption of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in forefoot surgeries, particularly for conditions such as hallux valgus. This review extends the discussion by exploring the application of MIS techniques in midfoot and hindfoot bone surgeries, as presented in the literature. The midfoot conditions reviewed included Charcot neuroarthropathy, while hindfoot conditions encompassed hindfoot malalignment and the management of intractable insertional Achilles tendinopathy associated with a Haglund deformity. The key considerations for achieving optimal surgical outcomes and the essential precautions to mitigate postoperative complications are discussed. This review provides valuable insights for advancing MIS approaches in midfoot and hindfoot surgeries.
