What Is Minimally Invasive Heel Spur Surgery?
Also known as keyhole surgery, minimally invasive heel spur surgery seeks to help patients achieve relief from heel spurs. Heel spurs are a foot condition on the underside of your heel bone. When calcium builds on along the bone over a period of month, they can form uncomfortable or painful protrusions. Typically, you may find yourself with heel spurs due to:
- Repeated or severe strain on your foot muscles and ligaments
- Excessive stretching of the plantar fascia
- Repeated tearing of the membrane over your heel bone
If any of these have led to you having heel spurs, this surgery is designed to help you achieve relief without a major surgery.

Is Minimally Invasive Heel Spur Surgery Right for Me?
If you are suffering from heel spurs in one or both feet, then this procedure could be right for you. Though not all heel spurs cause pain, some can cause pervasive symptoms. If heel spurs have begun interfering with your ability to be mobile, then you might want to consider surgery.
The first step to achieving relief begins with a consultation. During your meeting with Dr. Langroudi, he will go over your symptoms and goals. By working closely with you, he then puts together a plan to treat your symptoms in the most effective way. If removing your heels spurs is the best option, he will fully inform you of what your procedure process will look like.
Every step of the way, you are kept fully involved in the process. If you have any questions at any point, do not hesitate to ask or communicate concerns.
Recovery and Downtime
While you can achieve immediate weight-bearing on the target feet, there is a recovery period. However, you will be able to return to most of your daily activities immediately. The main restrictions will be wearing specific footwear in the next couple of months.
Usually, this involves wearing surgical sandals for the first three weeks. After that, we advise you to wear only comfortable sports shoes to give your feet more time to recover properly.
During the recovery period, you will have certain limitations on your physical activity. Dr. Langroudi will provide you with a full list of instructions to follow after your procedure. These will be essential to ensure you achieve optimal results.
If you have any questions or concerns during the recovery period, don’t hesitate to call us.
