Hallux metatarsophalangeal joint cheilectomy is a joint-sparing technique that involves resection of the dorsal metatarsal head osteophytes; this may be achieved through minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques. General indications for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) cheilectomy are mild-to-moderate hallux rigidus (Grades I-II) with symptomatic dorsal osteophytes causing dorsal impingement and/or shoe wear irritation in those who have failed extensive nonoperative management. The literature confirms equivalent outcomes to open cheilectomy; however, it is somewhat inconsistent regarding superiority. The theoretic benefits of MIS cheilectomy include better cosmesis, reduced wound complications, less soft tissue disruption, and faster recovery. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
