Early Surgical Complication Rates Following Elective Minimally Invasive Surgery Hallux Valgus in Diabetic Patients: A Matched Cohort Analysis

Listen to this summary

The study aimed to compare early complication rates following elective minimally invasive surgery for hallux valgus in diabetic patients versus non-diabetic patients. An analysis of 75 patients revealed no statistically significant differences in overall complication rates between the two groups, although diabetic patients exhibited greater postoperative radiographic correction. The authors suggest that these exploratory findings warrant further investigation in larger studies to confirm the results.
