Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Single screw fixation in minimally invasive hallux valgus surgery may reduce operative time and radiation exposure. However, two-screw fixation offers greater biomechanical stability, with evidence insufficient for definitive recommendations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for hallux valgus is evolving, with debate on optimal fixation.
  • Fourth-generation techniques often use two metatarsal screws, but single screw fixation could offer benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and compare clinical outcomes, radiographic results, and complications of single versus two-screw metatarsal fixation in MIS hallux valgus correction.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines across major databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane) up to March 2025.
  • Included studies compared single vs. two-screw fixation in MIS hallux valgus surgery.
  • Risk of bias assessed using ROBINS-I tool.

Main Results:

  • Clinical studies showed comparable radiographic correction and patient-reported outcomes between fixation methods.
  • Single screw fixation had shorter operative time and less fluoroscopy exposure.
  • Biomechanical studies indicated single screw fixation may have insufficient rotational stability compared to two-screw constructs.

Conclusions:

  • Single screw fixation may reduce radiation, surgical time, and hardware removal, but offers less biomechanical stability.
  • High risk of bias and limited data preclude definitive conclusions.
  • Fixation strategy should be individualized based on deformity and patient factors.
