Newport News, Va.-based surgeon Bryanna Vesely, DPM, performed the first minimally invasive Haglund's repair surgery on the Virginia Peninsula using the Arthrex MIS FiberTak Achilles SpeedBridge Implant Repair System.

Dr. Vesely, a specialist at the Orthopaedic & Spine Center, performed the surgery Nov. 11 at Mercy Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital in Newport News, according to a Nov. 12 news release. 

The outpatient procedure was performed on a patient with a history of chronic Haglund's Syndrome who had formerly tried multiple treatments, including a rigorous stretching program, oral and topical anti-inflammatory medication, shoe modifications and immobilization. 

The patient was released within two hours of the procedure to go home and recover. 

Dr. Vesely is a foot and ankle specialist who joined Orthopaedic & Spine Center in September.
