Abstract:
The rapid development of technology has ushered in a new era of minimally invasive and intelligent surgery.Minimally invasive surgeries, such as small incision, percutaneous surgery, arthroscopic surgery, and endoscopic surgery, have contributed to less invasive surgical trauma, better cosmesis, and faster recovery. Furthermore, the recent adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced new assistances and tools for minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery. By the help of advanced AI algorithms, surgeons can accurately make diagnose and personalized treatment strategies. Applications of computer-assisted navigation systems and robotics have facilitated precise surgical procedures and real-time confirmation of surgical outcomes. Foot and ankle surgery has lagged behind other surgical specialties in adopting these advancements. Currently, the integration of various forms of minimally invasive surgery and AI technology stand as the main trend in the development of foot and ankle surgery. It is believed that in the near future, intelligent minimally invasive surgery will become the mainstream in the domain of foot and ankle.
