OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the experience acquired in @entity4553 correction with percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study including @entity1 who underwent percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy between May 2005 and May 2007. The age, sex, and number of feet operated on were recorded. The clinical evaluation of results 6 months after surgery using the AOFAS scale, the intermetatarsal angle and the @entity4553 were also recorded. RESULTS: A total of 40 @entity1 were included; 38 females and 2 males; mean age was 49 years (28-73 years). Fifty-eight osteotomies were performed. According to the AOFAS scale, 28 @entity1 (41/58 feet) had no @entity158 . The mean functional capacity score was 41 points, and an excellent alignment was achieved in 74% of cases. The mean intermetatarsal angle was 7.5 degrees. Complications occurred in 2 @entity1 (2 feet). CONCLUSIONS: The appropriate treatment for the correction of @entity4553 consists of minimally invasive procedures, except for the cases in which the metatarsophalangeal joint shows signs of @entity4040 .
