Current literature on surgical techniques has evaluated minimally invasive surgery (MIS) cheilectomy and its efficacy in comparison to the open technique. However, no study date MIS-Moberg relation MIS cheilectomy. This assessed radiological outcomes early healing complications of patients who underwent open, MIS, cheilectomies. We conducted a retrospective cohort review 134 first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) at an academic medical center between 2015 2024. Success was determined radiographically. Postoperative were identified through record review. 73 61 cheilectomies performed with primary diagnosis hallux rigidus. The pre-operative versus post-operative differences dorsal cortical length (3.7±1.4) sagittal articular P1 angle (7.3±4.8) found be statistically significant (P<0.05) for group. Ten have dorsiflexion plantarflexion stiffness compared zero groups (P<0.01). showed significantly greater rate plantar- surgeries MIS-Moberg. No other rates or radiologic observed.
