MIAMI, FL – September 10, 2024- Led by Dr. Ettore Vulcano, Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center, a new study explores a minimally invasive procedure to treat a common foot and ankle ailment (Achilles tendinopathy) by analyzing patient-reported outcomes with a minimum two-year patient follow-up. The keyhole procedure, dubbed a percutaneous Zadek osteotomy (ZO), is a minimally invasive technique that can significantly decrease pain and provide patient with relief in as little as six weeks. Traditional open surgical approaches can take as long as one year for full recovery.
