Shortening, Percutaneous, Intra-articular, Chevron Osteotomy for the Treatment of Hallux Rigidus: An Anatomical Feasibility and Risk Assessment in Cadavers

Key Points

The study indicates S-PeICO is anatomically feasible for hallux rigidus treatment.
Key risk factors include narrow safety margins and potential tendon lesions during the procedure.
Anatomical feasibility assessment using cadaver specimens revealed significant insights.
The findings suggest careful consideration of risks is necessary when planning this surgical approach.

Abstract

This cadaveric study suggests that S-PeICO is anatomically feasible when performed by experienced surgeons, but narrow safety margins and the potential of tendon lesions should be considered.
