Biomechanical Evaluation of Different Fixation Methods for Percutaneous Extracapsular Transverse Cervical Metatarsal Osteotomy in a Hallux Valgus Sawbone Model
In this sawbones-based study, we found that the use of two 4.0-mm screws or use of a 3.0-mm screw and a 4.0-mm screw with lateral first metatarsal head cortical purchase was superior to other screw configurations.
