Abstract
Several surgical treatments have been proposed to correct the deformity associated with MWD and alleviate the pain; however, no technique can be named the gold standard. TNC arthrodesis is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of the MWD and can be performed with a dorsal or medial approach;we recommend the dorsal approach. We believe that autologous bone graft provides sufficient stability and internal fixation is not needed. Treatment of MWD is not well-documented in literature; more studies are needed to determine the optimum surgical treatment for this rare disease.Entities:
