Article Synopsis
- A prospective pilot study evaluated how foot types (pronate, neutral, supinate) affect mid-term functional outcomes in patients with central metatarsalgia after minimally invasive distal metaphyseal osteotomy (DMMO).
- A total of 28 patients saw significant improvements in their AOFAS scores from an average of 42.82 before surgery to 86.50 and 92.93 at 6 and 12 months post-surgery, respectively.
- No significant differences in outcomes were observed based on foot type or sex, and the procedure demonstrated minimal adverse events, making DMMO an effective treatment for metatarsalgia.
Background: Metatarsalgia of the lesser toes is a common cause of consultation in the podiatric clinic. However, there continues to be a controversy with respect to which is the best surgical technique, and there is few information in the literature regarding objectively comparable results in percutaneous surgery.
Methods: The second metatarsal bones of 30 feet belonging to patients who had attended the podiatric clinic were studied before and after distal metatarsal pecutaneous osteotomy.
