Background: Clinical and radiological results of percutaneous distal metatarsal minimally invasive osteotomy (DMMO) of the lesser rays for surgical treatment of primary metatarsalgia due to plantar overpressure with metatarsophalangeal instability are described. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy, feasibility and safety of this minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique, verifying the possibility to lower the complication rate related to surgical exposures, to reduce operating times with comparable functional and cosmetic results to those reported with traditional open procedures.Methods: Hundred and six consecutive percutaneous distal osteotomies without fixation (DMMO) of the second, third or fourth metatarsal bones were performed in 57 patients (70 ft) with a mean age at the surgery of 60.2 years (30-81) for treatment of metatarsalgia with metatarsophalangeal instability. Patients were clinically assessed with the AOFAS and Coughlin's Scores, the latter classifying the results in relation to the patient's subjective satisfaction.Results: The mean follow-up was of 45.0 +/- 13.3 months (24-68). All patients reported the disappearance or reduction of the pain that they had experienced prior to the operation around the metatarsal heads. The mean overall AOFAS score improved from 42.7 +/- 13.4 points (9-77) to 92.8 +/- 8.6 points (44-100) at the time of final follow-up. Patient subjective satisfaction according to Coughlin's classification was excellent in 62 ft (88.6%), good in 7 ft (10.0%), fair in 0 ft and poor in one foot (1.4%).Conclusions: We consider the percutaneous distal lesser metatarsal osteotomy without fixation (DMMO) a reliable surgical option in metatarsalgia due to metatarsophalangeal instability in early stages as in grade I and II according to Coughlin classification.

Abstract

Background: Clinical and radiological results of percutaneous distal metatarsal minimally invasive osteotomy (DMMO) of the lesser rays for surgical treatment of primary metatarsalgia due to plantar overpressure with metatarsophalangeal instability are described. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy, feasibility and safety of this minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique, verifying the possibility to lower the complication rate related to surgical exposures, to reduce operating times with comparable functional and cosmetic results to those reported with traditional open procedures.Methods: Hundred and six consecutive percutaneous distal osteotomies without fixation (DMMO) of the second, third or fourth metatarsal bones were performed in 57 patients (70 ft) with a mean age at the surgery of 60.2 years (30-81) for treatment of metatarsalgia with metatarsophalangeal instability. Patients were clinically assessed with the AOFAS and Coughlin's Scores, the latter classifying the results in relation to the patient's subjective satisfaction.Results: The mean follow-up was of 45.0 +/- 13.3 months (24-68). All patients reported the disappearance or reduction of the pain that they had experienced prior to the operation around the metatarsal heads. The mean overall AOFAS score improved from 42.7 +/- 13.4 points (9-77) to 92.8 +/- 8.6 points (44-100) at the time of final follow-up.
