Optimal Target Angle in Oblique Diaphyseal Osteotomy of the Fifth Metatarsal for Symptomatic Bunionette: A Retrospective Analysis
The osteotomy angle was greater and the screw was inserted more shallowly against the osteotomy line in the screw backout group compared with the control group. The optimal target angle of the osteotomy line to the fifth metatarsal axis should be <30 degrees intraoperatively for single-screw fixation.
