At Clinica Portalet in Calpe, Lara Carra, who is a fully qualified podiatrist since 2004 and holds a masters degree in keyhole surgery, has been successfully treating bunions and other foot related issues using the latest and most advanced techniques in keyhole surgery. Keyhole surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic, is virtually painless, promotes immediate recovery, and avoids the use of screws and pins. In fact it is so successful that patients are able to walk unaided immediately with a resumption of normal activities within only 48 hours. The key to keyhole surgery is the use of a fluoroscopic radiographic apparatus which allows Lara to visualise every step which means minimal incisions of just 2-3 millimetres.
Lara also uses keyhole surgery to treat; claw/ hammer toes, heel spur, metatarsalagia (pain in the ball of the foot) and neuroma (known as Morton’s Toe).
