Symptomatic Bunionette Treated with Sliding Oblique Metatarsal Osteotomy-Case Series.
Journal of Clinical Medicine 2022 July 8
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical and radiological results of a sliding oblique metatarsal osteotomy (SOMO) to correct bunionette deformity.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 44 patients (51 feet, left/right: 29/22) from December 2010 to December 2018 who underwent SOMO and compared radiographic measurements and clinical outcome scores preoperatively and postoperatively. Radiographic measurements included 4th and 5th intermetatarsal angle (IMA), metatarsophalangeal angle (MTPA), and lateral deviation angle (LDA). Clinical outcome measurements included The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score for lesser metatarsophalangeal procedures and visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. The mean follow-up period was 26.6 months (minimum 18 months). Based on Coughlin and Fallat classification, all cases were separated into four subtypes: 6 type I, 10 type II, 12 type III, 23 type IV cases included.) Results: All radiographic parameters significantly improved after SOMO procedure (IMA/MTPA/LDA, p value < 0.001). Clinical scores also showed a significant improvement in AOFAS and VAS scores ( p value < 0.001). In terms of subgroup based on each type, both radiographic measurements and clinical scores revealed significant improvements in each subgroup ( p value < 0.05), except LDA of type I subgroup ( p value = 0.09). Three cases reported pin-tract infection but recovered with good healing after removal of the K-wire and a prescription of oral antibiotic.
CONCLUSION: The SOMO procedure may be considered as a reliable and simple treatment for most types of bunionette deformity with satisfactory outcomes and no severe complications.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.
