Description

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for hallux valgus has evolved significantly, with ongoing debate about optimal fixation methods. Fourth-generation techniques typically use two metatarsal screws; however, single screw fixation may reduce operative time, radiation exposure, and cost. This systematic review compares clinical outcomes, radiographic results, and complications between one- and two-screw metatarsal fixation in minimally invasive hallux valgus correction.
