Area of Science:

  • Podiatric surgery
  • Oncology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Surgical excision of foot masses requires precise localization and minimal tissue disruption.
  • Preoperative imaging is crucial for planning complex foot and ankle procedures.

Observation:

  • A minimally invasive incision was utilized on the non-weightbearing surface of the hallux, directly over the mass.
  • This approach facilitated complete mass isolation, identification, and dissection, enabling tumor excision with minimal tissue trauma.

Findings:

  • The surgical technique resulted in uneventful and expedient healing, attributed to reduced tissue handling.
  • Preoperative detailed surgical mapping, enabled by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was essential for this precise approach.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the benefits of MRI-guided surgical planning in podiatric oncology.
  • Advancements in MRI technology offer significant promise for improving surgical precision and patient recovery in similar cases.
