The metatarsophalangeal joint–metatarsal ratio (MTPJ-MTR): An anatomic parameter for obtaining an extracapsular metatarsal osteotomy in fourth-generation minimally invasive hallux valgus correction

Key Points

• The metatarsophalangeal joint-metatarsal ratio is crucial for successful osteotomy.
• Optimal alignment was achieved in 85% of cases with appropriate ratio assessment.
• Assessment strategy used involves anatomical parameters for osteotomy planning.
• Highlighting the importance of anatomical precision in surgical interventions.
