Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Is the minimally-invasive correction of lesser toe deformities a reliable and safe method compared with the gold standard: the open surgical treatment? This will be evaluated perioperatively and in a minimum follow-up of 1 year by performing a clinical and radiological examination, as well as by using patient related outcome measurement questionnaires and the FFI-D (foot function index Germany).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Can the minimally-invasive technique achieve a high satisfaction rate in patients with lesser toe deformities? Do we achieve good clinical, functional and radiological results in these patients compared to the open surgical approach? This will be evaluated perioperatively and in a minimum follow-up of 1 year by performing a clinical and radiological examination, as well as by using patient related outcome measurement questionnaires and the FFI-D (foot function index Germany).	—
