“…5,21,24,28,29,[31][32][33]35,42,45,50 Studies have suggested the radiographic deformity correction that can be achieved using certain MIS techniques in severe deformities is potentially greater than reported in a range of open techniques with similar complication rates. 7,12,31,35 Comparing third-generation MIS techniques is challenging given that there are a broad spectrum of techniques 3,6,19,22,26,37 used with different osteotomies, 17 different zones of fixation (eg, percutaneous intra-articular chevron osteotomy [PEICO] vs minimally invasive chevron and Akin osteotomy [MICA]), number of screws, and different inclusion/ exclusion criteria, which are all considered "third-generation." Even when procedures are described using specific acronyms, surgeons cannot agree on what constitutes the important aspects of the procedure.…”
