Percutaneous, intra-articular Chevron osteotomy (PICO) for the treatment of hallux valgus. A Cadaveric Study:

摘要

Category:BunionIntroduction/Purpose:Percutaneous or minimally invasive surgery (MIS) forefoot surgery has experienced a vertiginous and sustained growth especially in the last decade. This is supported by numerous studies among which can be mentioned: clinical series, comparative studies, technique reports, radiological validations. Two cadaveric studies considered percutaneous forefoot surgery safe and has reported minimal risk which is consistent with clinical studies. We can consider that MIS forefoot surgery is transiting a sustained and responsible experience based on Third generation (TG) techniques (Open Chevron like). The purpose of this cadaveric study was to investigate the risk of iatrogenic neurovascular and tendon injury in a TG technique. Particularly, this study evaluated the Percutaneous, Intraarticular, Chevron Osteotomy (PICO) for the correction of hallux valgus.Methods:Eight unpaired feet, from Caucasian fresh frozen voluntary donor specimens were carefully dissected.
