Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Is the minimally-invasive correction of lesser toe deformities a reliable and safe method compared with the gold standard: the open surgical treatment?<br>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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Can the minimally-invasive technique achieve a high satisfaction rate in patients with lesser toe deformities?<br>Do we achieve good clinical, functional and radiological results in these patients compared to the open surgical approach?<br>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).
