What is Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery is a modern surgical approach that requires only a few tiny incisions, unlike traditional open surgery. Using specialized instruments, Dr. Malik performs precise corrections with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This technique leads to:
- Less post-operative pain
- Minimal scarring
- Faster healing and recovery
- Ability to walk out of the clinic
- No need for general anesthesia
- No pins, metals or screws


Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive Surgery
Bunion Surgery in Montreal
A bunion (hallux valgus) is a painful bump that forms at the base of the big toe due to misalignment of the joint. Over time, bunions can worsen, causing discomfort and difficulty walking.
With minimally invasive bunion surgery, we realign the joint through tiny incisions, reducing recovery time while correcting the structural imbalance of the foot. Unlike traditional methods, our approach allows patients to walk out of the clinic the same day with minimal pain.
Hammertoe Correction in Montreal
A hammertoe occurs when one or more toes become bent at the middle joint, causing pain and difficulty fitting into shoes. This condition often results from muscle imbalance, genetics, or improper footwear.
Our minimally invasive hammertoe surgery corrects the deformity with a small incision, straightening the toe without the need for stiff metal pins. Patients experience less swelling, quicker healing, and relief from discomfort.
Heel Spur Removal & Pain Relief
A heel spur is a calcium deposit that forms on the bottom of the heel bone, often associated with plantar fasciitis. This condition causes intense heel pain, making it difficult to walk or stand for long periods.
With minimally invasive heel spur removal, we gently remove the excess bone growth using small incisions, reducing pain and restoring mobility without a lengthy recovery period.
Corns & Calluses – Permanent Removal
Painful corns and calluses develop from pressure and friction, often caused by misaligned toes or poorly fitting shoes. Our minimally invasive corn removal procedure corrects the root cause, providing permanent relief with no need for repeated treatments.
