Medium-Long-Term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Distal Metatarsal Metaphyseal Osteotomy (DMMO) for Central Primary Metatarsalgia: Do Maestro Criteria Have a Predictive Value in the Preoperative Planning for This Percutaneous Technique?

<div><i>Maestro criteria</i>: example of radiographic marks, relative measurements (millimeters in white) for each lesser MB, and their difference with the consecutive one (millimeters in red) on anteroposterior radiographs of a forefoot of our series, performed to calculate the number of MBs to be shortened during radiographic planning and to identify the corresponding morphotype pre- and postoperatively. According to these criteria, the forefoot was classified as<i> “unclassified non-harmonious”</i> in the preoperative period (A) and as<i> “non-harmonious 1”</i> at the last follow-up after DMMO (B). Endolog technique was also performed for HV correction.</div>
