The results of this systematic review must be considered in light of the methodologic limitations of the studies analyzed-including additional procedures performed at the same time as the bunionette correction, lack of comparative studies, and heterogeneity of the case series included. Despite these limitations, our review suggests that percutaneous techniques for bunionette deformity correction are generally clinically safe and associated with improvement in radiographic alignment and patient-reported outcome measures.
