Biomechanical comparison of mini-plate and screw fixation in minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus
Aims To biomechanically compare the stability of mini-plate and dual-screw fixation following minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus, with an emphasis on early-stage stability under clinically relevant loading conditions. Methods Three fixation configurations were evaluated: mini-plate fixatio...
