Abstract

The purpose of this study was to review the most recent literature available on the treatment of bunionette (also named tailor’s bunion) with percutaneous and mini-invasive techniques. A topical review of the PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases was conducted in December 2015 utilising the keywords percutaneous (OR mini invasive OR minimally invasive) AND bunionette (OR tailor’s bunion) AND treatment (OR surgery). Studies that reported the outcomes of the surgical treatment of bunionette were included in our review. The search yielded a total of 111 publications from PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar. After abstract and full-text review, 9 articles were included in this review. Treatment methods were placed into two broad surgical treatment categories: with or without fixation of the osteotomy. The most common treatment strategy employed was with fixation. The pooled rates of success for the techniques with fixation and without fixation were respectively 93.5 and 97.8. The current evidence on the treatment of bunionette deformity is limited to retrospective case series. Future high-level studies are required to distinguish the most appropriate treatment for this type of deformity.
