Minimally invasive foot surgery in Denton, TX
When surgery is the answer, smaller is often better. Denton podiatrist Dr. David J. Barber, DPM specializes in minimally invasive foot surgery — correcting problems through tiny incisions, so you get less pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery.
What is minimally invasive foot surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery repairs or reshapes tissue through one or more very small incisions, rather than the large opening used in traditional open surgery. Using specialized thin instruments — and, when helpful, a tiny camera — Dr. Barber can correct the problem while sparing the surrounding tissue. It’s an area of real specialty for him, and it means a gentler experience for you.
What can be treated minimally invasively?
Many common foot problems can be corrected through small incisions, including:
- Most bunion corrections
- Bone spurs
- Hammertoes and metatarsal surgery
- Neuromas and pinched nerves
- Achilles tendon repair
- Recurring corns
- Certain ankle deformities or damage
The TENEX® procedure
Dr. Barber has extensive experience with the TENEX® procedure, which uses a specialized needle to remove targeted damaged tendon tissue and stimulate healing. The incision is so small it usually doesn’t even require stitches — an excellent example of how far minimally invasive techniques have come.
The benefits
Compared with traditional open surgery, a minimally invasive approach typically offers:
- Smaller incisions and less scarring — inside and out
- Less bleeding during surgery
- Less tissue displacement
- Reduced pain
- Faster healing and recovery
