Clinical Trial Summary

The primary propose of this prospective study is to specifically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Minimally Invasive Distal Metatarsal Metaphyseal Osteotomy (DMMO) in treating patients with persistent central primary metatarsalgia, associated or not to hallux valgus and lesser toe deformities, identifying possible contraindications in relation to some demographic parameters (age, gender, BMI, and smoking). The second objective is to verify the potential of DMMO in restoring a harmonious foot morphotype according to Maestro's criteria and if these radiographic parameters are correlated with clinical outcomes, maintaining the predictive value of these criteria during preoperative planning also for this percutaneous surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

A consecutive series of patients with metatarsalgia is consecutively enrolled and treated by DMMO. According to Maestro criteria, pre-operative planning is carried out by both clinical and radiological assessment. Patient demographic data, AOFAS scores, 17-Foot Functional Index, Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire, SF-36, VAS, and complications are recorded. Maestro parameters, relative morphotypes, and bone callus formation are assessed. Statistical analysis is carried out (p < 0.05). ;
