However, the possible relationship of the foot type and the mid-term postoperative outcome is poorly described. The objective of this prospective pilot study was therefore to determine whether the foot type (pronate, neutral, or supinate) conditions the postoperative mid-term functional outcome.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> A series of 28 patients (6 men, 22 women) were treated for primary central metatarsalgia by means of minimally invasive distal metaphyseal osteotomy (DMMO).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Their functional outcomes at 6 and 12 months were assessed by the self-reporting AOFAS scale. Pre-surgery, the patients' scores were 42.82 \u00b1 15.60. Scores improved at 6 months to 86.50 \u00b1 8.6 and to 92.93 \u00b1 8.6 at 12 months (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001 in both cases). There were no differences either by sex or by foot type in these overall values, although there was only a slight limitation of interphalangeal mobility in the supinated feet (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03) at 6-month follow-up as compared to other foot types.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Hence, DMMO provides an optimal clinical and functional outcome for the surgical treatment of metatarsalgia, regardless of the patient's foot posture. The occurrence of adverse events was minimal and clinically irrelevant.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Trial registration:<\/jats:bold> The study was authorised by the Research Ethics Committee of the Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, with the registry UCV\/2018-2019\/019.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2021.748330","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,21]],"date-time":"2021-09-21T06:53:53Z","timestamp":1632207233000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Influence of Foot Type on the Clinical Outcome of Minimally Invasive Surgery for Metatarsalgia.
