During minimally invasive flat foot surgery, Dr. Ramos makes very small incisions. Therefore, you experience significantly less healing time and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgery. Furthermore, the procedure uses local anesthesia, so you stay awake and comfortable throughout. In addition, minimally invasive surgery carries much lower risks than conventional open surgery. As a result, most patients return to their normal activities much sooner than they would after traditional flat foot surgery.

Dr. Ramos routinely performs flat foot surgery right in our minimally invasive surgery suite at our office. However, some complex cases may still require a hospital setting. Flat foot is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, placing extra stress on the ankle and making it difficult to walk comfortably. Common symptoms include:

• Pain around the heel or arch area
• Trouble standing on tiptoe
• Swelling around the inside of the ankle
• A flat appearance in one or both feet
• Uneven wear on your shoes
• Shin splints
• Knee and lower back pain

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact Dr. Ramos right away for an evaluation. Furthermore, leaving flat foot untreated can lead to worsening pain and long-term joint damage.

Dr. Ramos offers a minimally invasive solution for flat foot using a specialized implant called HyProCure. This FDA-approved device corrects misaligned feet by repositioning the ankle bone into its proper position. As a result, patients experience significant reduction or complete elimination of flat foot symptoms. In addition, because the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery is faster and less painful than traditional flat foot surgery. Therefore, HyProCure is an excellent option for patients who want lasting relief without the lengthy downtime of conventional surgery.
