Minimally invasive soft-tissue and osseous stabilization (MISOS) technique for midfoot and hindfoot deformities.
The surgical repair of unstable midfoot and hindfoot deformities in the high-risk patient remains a challenge with little guidance available in the literature. The author presents a proposed surgical intervention for midfoot and hindfoot deformities utilizing a minimally invasive soft-tissue and osseous stabilization (MISOS) approach. The article presents a detailed, step-by-step description of the procedure used for these difficult limb salvage cases.
