Where this comes from

Abstract

The field of minimally invasive foot surgery has witnessed considerable advancements over the past 2 decades, with the introduction of techniques that facilitate reduced tissue disruption, smaller incisions, and expedited recovery periods. However, it presents unique risks because of limited direct visualization, which can compromise precision and increase the risk of anatomic damage. Historically, such challenges, particularly with osteotomies (Bösch and Kramer), hampered its adoption.
