Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and open surgery for hammertoe correction show similar outcomes regarding bone healing and return to activity. While MIS had slightly more recurrences and hardware removals, these differences were not statistically significant.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle pathology
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • Hammertoe deformity is a common forefoot issue.
  • Open surgical techniques are well-documented.
  • Minimally invasive techniques for hammertoe correction lack extensive literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare minimally invasive surgery (MIS) versus open surgery for hammertoe correction.
  • To evaluate outcomes including time to bone union, complications, recurrence, and return to activity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparative study.
  • Inclusion criteria applied to 68 feet from 41 patients.
  • 54 feet underwent MIS hammertoe correction, 14 feet underwent open hammertoe correction.

Main Results:

  • Time to osseous union was similar: 8.76 weeks (MIS) vs. 8.42 weeks (open).
  • Return to activity was comparable: 10.47 weeks (MIS) vs. 9.92 weeks (open).
  • Recurrence rates (3.23% MIS vs. 0% open) and unplanned hardware removal (4.03% MIS vs. 0% open) showed no statistical significance.

Conclusions:

  • Both minimally invasive and open hammertoe correction techniques yield comparable results.
  • No statistically significant differences were found in key outcome measures between the two surgical approaches.
