Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatric Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques are widely used for lesser toe deformities.
  • These techniques are mature, offering versatility and high correction potential with low complication rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight essential technical details for reliable correction in percutaneous lesser toe surgery.
  • To emphasize the importance of adhering to minimally invasive principles and specific postoperative care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established percutaneous surgical techniques for lesser toe deformities.
  • Discussion of critical technical aspects and postoperative management, including specific bandaging for unfixed osteotomies.

Main Results:

  • Percutaneous techniques provide reliable correction for lesser toe deformities when performed with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Specific postoperative care, particularly specialized bandaging, is crucial for unfixed osteotomies to ensure successful outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Success in percutaneous lesser toe treatment hinges on understanding and applying fundamental minimally invasive principles.
  • Comprehensive theoretical and practical training is mandatory for foot surgeons to master these procedures and achieve optimal results.
