The procedure usually takes twenty minutes. The Topaz Microdebrider is a one inch incision around the achilles tendon a 1/4 inch apart grid and a 1/4 inch deep into the tendon using radiofrequency into the tissue to remove affected tissue the recover rate is 99 to 100% with mild pain and tenderness lasting anywhere from 3 days to a week . Healing time is only a few days, compared to having the whole plantar removed.....good luck to you and will hope it works ....so you can let others know how well it worked.

Topaz treatment typically takes less than 20 minutes to administer. Patients are ready to leave the clinic once recovered from local or light sedation. It requires a very small incision to insert the Topaz debrider through, where usual debridement of a tendon requires a very large incision. Patients we have seen have much less pain and recover much quicker with this procedure. Good Luck.

The traditional surgical procedure for plantars f. stipulates cutting a large incision at the bottom of the foot. This can flatten the arch and decrease foot stability, causing a lengthy and painful recovery as well as permanent disruption to the biomechanical structure of the foot.

Most radiofrequency-based surgical instruments such as lasers use heat-driven processes to remove or cut tissue. Coblation-based devices operate at a significantly lower temperature, allowing for more precision than would be expected by using traditional surgical tools. Coblation technology gently dissolves target tissue, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Because Topaz is minimally invasive and induces a rapid healing response, only a small incision is required which provides for a significantly shorter recovery time.
Good luck withyour husband's surgery and hope all goes well for him.
