RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Bunionette deformity is described as a painful bony prominence on the lateral aspect of the fifth metatarsal head. The present study prospectively assessed the clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes of sliding distal metatarsal minimally invasive osteotomy (S-DMMO) used in a large series of patients with a midterm follow-up period. METHODS: From December 2015 to December 2018, we evaluated 74 feet (57 patients). Radiologic (4-to-5 intermetatarsal angle, fifth metatarsophalangeal angle, the fifth metatarsal head width, lateral deviation angle, fifth metatarsal length, medial displacement, and elevation), clinician-reported scores (AOFAS score, visual analog scale [VAS]) and patient-reported outcomes measure (Foot and Ankle Ability Measure [FAAM] activities of daily living [ADL], FAAM sports, Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire [MOXFQ], and patient satisfaction survey) were included in the analysis. The time to bone union was also assessed. RESULTS: The average 4-to-5 intermetatarsal angle improved from 11.1 degrees preoperatively to 4.5 degrees postoperatively (P < .001), whereas the average fifth metatarsophalangeal angle improved from 15.7 degrees preoperatively to 4.8 degrees postoperatively (P < .001). The lateral deviation angle was found to be 2.2 degrees. The fifth metatarsal length decreased from 66.6 to 64.3 mm postoperatively. The average initial medial displacement was 4.67 mm preoperatively and 4.54 mm at final follow-up. The elevation of the fifth metatarsal head was 1.08 mm. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society score improved from 54.3 ± 20.86 points preoperatively to 93.4 ± 17.3 (P < .001). VAS score decreased from 7.9 to 0.7 (P < .001). Also, FAAM ALD, FAAM Sport, and MOXFQ showed statistically significant differences (P < .001) between preoperative and postoperative periods. Patients found the procedure excellent in 89.1% of cases, very good in 5.4%, and good in 5.4%. Bone union was obtained at 8.1 weeks. CONCLUSION: The most important finding of the present study is that S-DMMO showed improvement in function and pain associated with a high satisfaction rate. Also, we found substantial capacity to correct deformities and a low incidence of complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

BACKGROUND: Bunionette is a common foot disorder, and several types of corrective surgery have been described. With the popularization of minimally invasive surgeries, the forefoot region has become a suitable area for this type of technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of oblique distal osteotomy of the fifth metatarsal adapted for a percutaneous approach. METHODS: We prospectively evaluated 31 consecutive tailor's bunion patients who underwent operative correction on a total of 42 feet between 2017 and 2019 after failure of conservative treatment. Clinical outcomes such as pain (visual analog scale [VAS]), function (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society [AOFAS] Lesser Toe Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale scoring system), personal satisfaction, and complications were evaluated. Radiographic aspects were also examined. Shapiro and Mann-Whitney statistical tests were conducted. The average age of the patients was 69.5 years, and the average follow-up was 13.1 months. RESULTS: After the operative procedure, there was a decrease of 6.6 points on the VAS for pain (P < .001) and an increase of 34.9 in the AOFAS score (P < .001). Radiographic correction was achieved for both the fifth metatarsophalangeal angle (P < .001) and the intermetatarsal angle (P < .001), which showed decreased values. There was 1 case of superficial infection and 2 cases of nonunion (asymptomatic). A large majority of patients regarded the procedure outcome as satisfactory. CONCLUSION: This percutaneous oblique distal osteotomy of the fifth metatarsal for bunionette deformity produced improvements in pain and function and a high rate of satisfaction, with a low incidence of complications and a high capacity for correcting the deformity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prospective cohort study.

Se realizó este estudio con el propósito de evaluar el tratamiento de los hallux valgus, en el Hospital "Miguel Pérez Carreño", durante el periodo comprendido entre el año 2000 y el 2005, a través del análisis de variables: epidemiológicas, demográficas manifestaciones clínicas y el tipo de tratamiento. Se revisaron un total de 48 historias médicas, de los cuales 71 por ciento fueron hallux valgus bilateral, para un total de 82 pies tratados, con una edad promedio de 49 años y con un 91,7 por ciento pertenecientes al sexo femenino. Cuyo principal motivo de consulta fue el dolor correspondiente al 79 por ciento de los pacientes, lo cual fue corroborado con el examen físico realizado a todos los pacientes. El tratamiento de los pacientes fue qurúrgico y en su gran mayoría consistió en la liberación de partes blandas en un 80 por ciento, como única técnica o como coadyuvante de osteotomías proximales.
