Voom™ Medical Devices, Inc. (“Voom”), a pioneering company revolutionizing minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery, is excited to announce that its Founder and CEO, Dr. Neal Blitz, DPM, FACFAS, has been appointed as the Editor for the January 2025 issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. The issue will focus on Minimal Incision Surgery (MIS), a rapidly advancing field in podiatric and foot and ankle surgery. The journal provides critical insights into the latest clinical advances and emerging trends in patient management, offering surgeons a trusted source for decision-making in patient care.
Dr. Blitz’s leadership role in the January 2025 issue marks a significant achievement in his career. He has been invited to serve as the Editor for this special issue, highlighting the growing importance of minimally invasive techniques in contemporary surgery. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to contribute once again as editor for Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery,” Dr. Blitz stated. “I am thrilled to see the orthopedic and podiatric communities increasingly embrace minimally invasive solutions as the standard of care.” This invitation marks the third time Dr. Blitz has been invited to serve in this prestigious role, underscoring his reputation and expertise in the field of podiatric surgery—a rare distinction in the profession.
The upcoming issue will explore key topics related to minimally invasive surgery, focusing on its application to bunion surgery, a condition that affects millions worldwide. Dr. Blitz has contributed a thought-provoking preface to the issue, titled “Minimally Invasive Surgery: Ignore It Until You Can’t”, reflecting his expertise and vision for the future of podiatric surgery. He has also authored an article titled “New Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery: The End-All Be-All Bunion Repair?” which examines the advantages of minimally invasive techniques and their transformative potential for bunion repair.
Dr. Blitz is a leading advocate for minimally invasive procedures, and in his article, he highlights the emerging benefits of these techniques over traditional surgery, which has been associated with longer recovery times and more significant complications. With MIS, patients experience smaller incisions, faster healing, and reduced post-operative pain, making the procedure highly beneficial for both patients and surgeons. The article explores the latest advancements in MIS and critically assesses whether these innovations could represent the ultimate solution to bunion surgery.
Joining Dr. Blitz in contributing to this issue is Dr. Bogdan Grecea, DPM, Voom’s Vice President of Surgeon Education, Training, and Onboarding. Dr. Grecea brings valuable insights to the issue with his article on “The History and Instrumentation of Minimally Invasive Pedal Surgery.” This article provides a deep dive into the evolution of minimally invasive techniques for foot surgery, along with a detailed look at the instrumentation that has been developed to facilitate these procedures. His work will be particularly beneficial for surgeons looking to understand the history, benefits, and proper implementation of these innovative tools in their practices.
In his commentary, Dr. Blitz notes the growing body of evidence supporting the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. “As the body of evidence grows and the advantages become undeniable, even the surgeons who were once hesitant are now rushing to gain training and hands-on experience,” Dr. Blitz said. “For those willing to embrace this new challenge, the rewards are likely to be great—not just for their own professional development, but more importantly, for the well-being of their patients.” This sentiment reflects the shift in mindset among foot and ankle surgeons, as more professionals recognize the importance of incorporating cutting-edge techniques into their practice to provide better outcomes for patients.
The January 2025 issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery represents a landmark publication in the ongoing conversation about the future of foot and ankle surgery. With Dr. Blitz at the helm as Editor, the issue is poised to inspire and educate surgeons around the world, offering them the insights and tools they need to stay at the forefront of this evolving field.
