Minimally invasive surgery techniques are being adopted in all surgical specialties because of the advantages they bring to the surgeon and patient.
Why PROstep™ Minimally Invasive?
PROstepTM minimally invasive procedures are performed for the same indications as traditional open procedures. Using a percutaneous ~5mm incision, osteotomies are made with a rotating burr instead of a micro sagittal saw. Surgeons have found that the potential advantages of using a burr for Minimally Invasive procedures include:
Traditional Cheilectomy incision
PROstep™ Cheilectomy incision
PROstep™ MICA™ screws
PROstep™ Burrs
