Complex forefoot deformities are challenging to treat and are labor intensive for the surgeon and the patient. New minimally invasive surgery (MIS) shows great potential and in some instances outperforms traditional open surgery. Another advantage MIS has is that it is technically easier to perform (once proficient) and produces less pain and recovery for the patient. This article takes the reader through MIS preoperative planning, soft tissue considerations, the different osteotomy configuration options, rationale, transverse plane correction, sagittal plane correction, revision MIS surgery of malunions, metatarsus adductus correction, hybrid MIS correction, and postoperative bandaging and management.

It is recognized that with advancing age, there is a more significant decline in lower limb muscle mass compared to the upper limb. However, due to the inherent complexity of assessing lower limb muscle strength compared to measuring Grip Strength, these assessments have not been universally adopted for sarcopenia screening.

Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures reduce surgical trauma and enable an early return to routine activities.
