The present study compared the clinical results of open neurectomy versus a percutaneous procedure for @entity195 . This was a retrospective study comparing the functional results after 2 surgical procedures: open neurectomy and a percutaneous procedure (with deep transverse metatarsal ligament release and distal metatarsal osteotomies). The present study included 52 @entity1 (26 in each group), and the mean follow-up period was 4 (range 2 to 7) years. The @entity1 evaluation criteria included the presence of @entity2531 of @entity195 , @entity3681 ( @entity3681 ) functional scale score, @entity1 satisfaction, and delay for recovery. Percutaneous treatment of @entity195 and open neurectomy produced complete relief of @entity158 in 25 of 26 @entity1 in each group. At the latest follow-up visit, the mean @entity3681 score had significantly improved from 36      11 preoperatively to a mean of 89      18 (p  <  .001). After 2  years, the functional improvement obtained with the percutaneous procedure persisted, with a stable @entity3681 score (96      10). Persistent @entity7529 was reported by @entity1 who had undergone open neurectomy, with a significantly decreased @entity3681 score (81      21, p  =  .009). The percutaneous procedure for @entity195 provided excellent functional outcomes ( @entity3681 score >90) significantly more often with a shorter delay than after open neurectomy (p  =  .03). At the latest follow-up visit, @entity7529 due to @entity1411 or @entity2585 and @entity1411 was present in 11 of 26 @entity1 (44%) after open neurectomy and in 1 of 26 @entity1 (4%) after the percutaneous procedure (p  =  .002). Percutaneous treatment of @entity195 is a reliable procedure providing results as good as those after open neurectomy, with significantly better outcomes in the longer term and a lower rate of late @entity7529 .
