Like most surgeons, Dr. Kim is in his element when he’s in the operating room. In this article, we are going to show you some action shots of Dr. Kim at work in the operating room performing various foot and ankle treatments and procedures.
Arthrex Nanoscope
This picture shows Dr. Kim using the Arthrex Nanoscope for ankle debridement after an ankle fracture. Easy setup and the highflow 30 deg cannula makes Nanoscope a useful instrument for all types of arthroscopy.
Modified Brostrom Internal Brace
This is a modified Brostrom Internal Brace. The technique used is a 3 cm incision. A smaller incision leads to faster recovery, less scar, and cosmetic surgical incision!
Posterior Tibial Tenosynoyectomy
This is a picture of a posterior tibial tenosynovectomy using the Arthrex Nanoscope with a 2 mm disposable scope. It’s a “chip on a stick.”
Arthrex PRP
This is an ultrasound picture of injecting a patient’s peroneal brevis tendon using Arthrex PRP (platelet rich plasma). It’s a great method of treating a patient’s peroneal tendon pathology when conservative options fail, and can occasionally help avoid surgery!
Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release
This is a picture of Dr. Kim performing endoscopic plantar fascia release using a minimally invasive technique. Also optimizing technology to the best via Arthrex Synergy, Arthrex endoscopic blade, MRI and intraoperative ultrasound guidance.
