Minimally Invasive vs Open First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Cheilectomy: Radiographic Outcomes and Early Complications.

We showed a significantly greater rate of plantar- and dorsiflexion stiffness in open surgeries compared to MIS and MIS-Moberg. No other differences in healing rates or radiologic outcomes were observed. Based on preliminary results, the MIS-Moberg can successfully alter the radiographic alignment of the great toe and does not increase complications as compared to open or MIS cheilectomy alone.
