Comparison of third-generation minimally invasive surgery, split-drill osteotomy, and triplanar chevron osteotomy for treating mild to moderate hallux valgus with metatarsalgia in middle-aged women: An observational study.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study compared the clinical efficacy of third-generation minimally invasive surgery (3rd-MIS) split-drill osteotomy with soft tissue release to that of triplanar chevron osteotomy (TCO) for treating mild to moderate hallux valgus (HV) with metatarsalgia in middle-aged women. This study compared the efficacy of 3rd-MIS using split-drill osteotomy to that of TCO in treating mild to moderate HV with metatarsalgia in 52 middle-aged women from March 2022 to June 2023. Retrospectively analyzing a total of 52 patients (26 patients per group), we employed 2 distinct surgical methods across 2 groups in this study: the TCO group received a traditional TCO accompanied by soft tissue release, whereas the MIS group underwent a split-drill osteotomy with soft tissue release.
