Percutaneous bunionette correction offers a minimally invasive surgical option for painful deformities. This technique shows comparable or better results than open surgery with fewer complications.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

Bunionette deformities, also known as tailor's bunions, can cause significant pain and affect quality of life.
Traditional open surgical techniques for correction carry risks of complications and prolonged recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the outcomes of percutaneous bunionette correction.
To compare the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive percutaneous techniques versus open surgery.

Main Methods:

Percutaneous bunionette correction involves a small incision and osteotomy of the fifth metatarsal using specialized instruments.
The procedure focuses on realigning the metatarsal to correct the deformity.

Main Results:

Percutaneous correction demonstrates promising clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Keywords:

Bunionette Fifth metatarsal Metatarsal osteotomy Minimally invasive Percutaneous Tailor’s bunion

Results are comparable or marginally superior to those achieved with open surgical methods.

The minimally invasive approach significantly reduces the risk of complications, such as infection and hardware-related issues.

Conclusions:

Percutaneous bunionette correction is an effective and safe alternative to open surgery.
This minimally invasive technique is becoming the preferred standard of care for bunionette deformities.
Reduced complication rates and comparable outcomes support the adoption of percutaneous methods.
