- Hallux valgus is a foot deformity that causes the big toe to tilt outward and form a bump at the base, often treated through minimally invasive surgery for metatarsus adductus, which has quicker recovery and smaller scars.
- The study utilizes a finite element method to create a biomechanical model for metatarsus adductus, analyzing different Kirschner wire fixation methods to understand their impacts on foot loading and stress distribution.
- The research aims to improve the understanding of minimally invasive surgical techniques and their effectiveness, ultimately seeking to reduce complications and enhance patient satisfaction in surgeries for metatarsus adductus.
