Comparison of Outcomes after Minimally Invasive Transverse Distal Metatarsal Osteotomy (MITO) and Proximal Phalangeal Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus With and Without Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Matched Cohort Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to compare the radiologic and clinical outcomes of minimally invasive transverse distal metatarsal osteotomy (MITO) and complete proximal phalangeal osteotomy for hallux valgus correction in patients with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study found that both groups experienced significant improvements in radiologic parameters and noninferior pain relief, suggesting that MITO is a safe and effective joint-preserving surgical option for RA patients without advanced first metatarsophalangeal joint destruction.
