    AbstractIn this technical report study, we describe technique for performing the osteotomy and screw passage in minimally invasive fourth-generation hallux valgus surgery with transverse and akin extra-articular metaphyseal osteotomy (META) using a 3D-printed patient-specific surgical instrumentation guide. In an effort to minimize the learning curve and address the variability associated with technical corrections and screw placement, we have initiated the creation of personalized patient-specific instrumentation guides using 3D printing. Our hypothesis is that this approach will enhance safety, precision, decrease surgical time, and reduce exposure to radiation. Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.© 2024.
