[Minimally invasive surgery efficacy in children's forefoot].

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in children's forefoot is a technique that permits minimum tissue trauma assisted by fluoroscopic control. We evaluated the results of this modality of surgery in problems such as: claw toes, hallux valgus, exostosis, hammer toe, and bunionectomy. We had a complication for using the procedure with more revolutions per minute (rpm), which remind us of the importance of using 2000-8000 rpm. We found that it is not commendable to make hypercorrections, due it increases they risk of recurrence. MIS is an excellent option in forefoot deformity correction in children leaving minimal scars and preserving the physis.
