Utilidad de la ecografía en la realización de osteotomías distales metatarsales mínimamente invasivas

Abstract

Metatarsalgia is a frequent cause of forefoot pain. Surgical treatment is based on the performance of osteotomies at the level of the minor radii to restore a normal distribution of pressure within the forefoot and improve the biomechanics during gait. In recent years, percutaneous surgery of the foot, and specifically distal metatarsal minimal invasive osteotomy , have proven to be a valid technique, providing satisfactory clinical results, similar to open osteotomy with less soft tissue aggression. The percutaneous surgery requires intraoperative fluorocopy to be performed. BACKGROUND: This study aims to analyse our results with the surgical procedure of distal metatarsal minimally invasive osteotomy guided by ultrasonography...
