Article Synopsis
- Metatarsalgia is a foot condition that can be treated without surgery at first, but if that doesn't work, a special surgery called DICMO might be needed.
- A study with 65 patients found that after DICMO surgery, many had less foot pain and better function, especially those who used an inclinometer to help with the surgery angle.
- The results showed that DICMO surgery was safe and worked really well to reduce pain and improve foot performance, but more research is needed to see how it compares to other treatments.
Minimally invasive foot surgery (MIS) has become a common procedure to treat various pathologies, and accuracy in the angle of metatarsal osteotomies is crucial to ensure optimal results. This randomized controlled trial with 37 patients investigates whether the implementation of a digital inclinometer can improve the accuracy of osteotomies compared to traditional freehand techniques. Patients were randomly allocated to group A (n = 15) receiving inclinometer-assisted surgery or group B (n = 22) receiving conventional surgery.
