ABSTRACT
Hammertoe deformity is a common forefoot pathology, characterized by a progressive deformity with dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx on the metatarsal head at the metatarsal phalangeal joint (MTPJ) and plantarflexion of the intermediate phalanx on the proximal phalanx at the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ). While there is literature available discussing open techniques for hammertoe correction, there is a lack of publications discussing minimally invasive techniques, therefore the objective of this retrospective comparative study is to evaluate minimally invasive versus open hammertoe surgery in terms of time to osseous union, complications, recurrence, and return to full activity. Sixty eight feet among 41 patients met the inclusion criteria and were surveyed. Among the 68 feet, 54 feet (124 toes) underwent minimally invasive hammertoe correction and 14 feet (22 toes) underwent open hammertoe correction. Time to osseous union (weeks) in the MIS group was 8.76 ± 2.31 weeks with similar outcomes to the open group with union at 8.42 ± 2.31 (p = .65). Return to activity (weeks) was 10.47 ± 3.45 in the MIS group and 9.92 ± 3.03 in the open group with no statistical significance (p = .62). There was 4 recurrent hammertoe deformities in the MIS group (3.23%) with no recurrent hammertoes in the open group (0%). In the MIS group 5 hammertoes had unplanned hardware removal (4.03%) compared to 0 in the open group. There was no statistical significance for both recurrence and unplanned hardware removal (p = 1). Overall, we concluded that both techniques are equivocal with no detectable statistical difference.
