Radiological and Functional Outcomes of Fourth-Generation MIS Hallux Valgus Correction (META) in an Indian Population

Key Points

• To evaluate the radiological and functional outcomes of fourth-generation minimally invasive surgery for hallux valgus correction.
• Conducted as a randomized trial in an Indian population with hallux valgus.
• Participants underwent fourth-generation minimally invasive surgery for correction.
• Outcomes measured included both radiological and functional assessments post-procedure.
• Significant improvement in radiological outcomes with a p-value < 0.01.
• Functional outcomes demonstrated enhanced patient satisfaction with a 92% success rate.
• Average reduction in pain scores noted post-surgery was from 8 to 2 on a 10-point scale.
