Introducing the SPARE™ Method

The SPARE™ Method

Surgery Preserving Anatomy, Restoring, Endoscopically.

Pioneered and refined by Dr. Fabio D'Angelo, the SPARE™ Method is an innovative surgical approach that rethinks how foot and ankle surgery should be performed. Rather than focusing solely on correcting a deformity, the SPARE™ Method is built on the principle of preserving healthy anatomy whenever clinically appropriate while restoring natural function through advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques.

Every patient is unique. Every foot is unique. For this reason, the SPARE™ Method is not defined by a single procedure, but by a consistent commitment to preserving anatomy, restoring function, and selecting the most appropriate surgical technique for each individual patient.

The SPARE™ Method is especially relevant in the treatment of bunions (hallux valgus), where many traditional corrective techniques require an osteotomy — a surgical procedure in which the bone is cut and realigned to correct the deformity. Through his pioneering endoscopic expertise, Dr. D'Angelo is able to correct a broad spectrum of bunion deformities while preserving healthy anatomy whenever clinically appropriate.

The SPARE™ Method combines advanced minimally invasive techniques with a high-strength, flexible, suture-based fixation system designed to stabilize the corrected bone while preserving the surrounding anatomy. Unlike conventional open approaches, the correction is performed entirely endoscopically, minimizing soft-tissue disruption while allowing precise restoration and fixation of the bone. This flexible fixation system is designed to maintain the correction over time and help reduce the risk of recurrence, supporting optimal long-term function.

Beyond bunion correction, the SPARE™ Method guides Dr. D'Angelo's approach to revision surgery, forefoot reconstruction, tendon disorders, sports injuries, and other complex foot and ankle conditions.
