Minimally Invasive foot surgery remains controversial

Potential benefits include a reduced incidence of wound complications, faster return to employment and normal footwear. There are no studies published regarding the results of minimally invasive dorsal cheilectomy.

Patients and Methods

Thirty eight patients with painful grade I hallux rigidus underwent dorsal cheilectomy between April 2006 and June 2010. Minimally invasive cheilectomy (MIC) was introduced in August 2009. AOFAS scores, satisfaction, return to normal shoes and employment were assessed.
