Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatric Surgery

Background:

  • Tailor's bunions (bunionettes) are painful deformities.
  • Symptomatic cases often require surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of distal oblique osteotomy for symptomatic tailor's bunions.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and radiographic results.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical, radiographic, and subjective evaluations of 36 patients (50 feet) before and after surgery.
  • Distal oblique osteotomy procedure performed on all participants.

Main Results:

  • 34 out of 36 patients reported satisfaction with pain relief.
  • Radiographic measurements aligned with existing literature.
  • No cases of avascular necrosis, nonunion, or neuroma formation were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Distal oblique osteotomy is a simple, safe, and predictable procedure for tailor's bunions.
  • The technique avoids the need for internal fixation or postoperative immobilization.
  • High patient satisfaction rates indicate effectiveness in pain management.
