Complications from minimal incision surgery are rare but can severely impact foot function. This review covers recognizing, managing, and preventing surgical wound infections, bone healing issues, and joint motion limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatric Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Minimal incision surgery offers benefits but carries risks of rare complications.
  • These complications can significantly impair foot function and patient comfort.
  • Understanding potential adverse events is crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common complications following minimal incision foot surgery.
  • To provide guidance on clinical recognition of these complications.
  • To outline appropriate postoperative management and prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of complications in minimal incision foot surgery.
  • Analysis of clinical recognition, management, and prevention strategies.

  • Focus on surgical wound infections, bone healing abnormalities, and joint mobility issues.

    • Main Results:

    • Surgical wound infections (soft tissue, bone, or both) require prompt diagnosis and treatment.
    • Bone healing complications include malunion, delayed union, nonunion, and pseudoarthrosis.
    • Functional joint limitation, stiffness, and pain necessitate specific management approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • Early recognition and appropriate management are key to mitigating complications.
    • Preventive measures can reduce the incidence of adverse events post-surgery.
    • Addressing infections, bone healing, and joint mobility is vital for restoring foot function.
