Significados de proximal chevron em inglês

Background: Fixation of proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy has been accomplished using K-wires traditionally and with a locking plate recently.

Conclusions: Authors have demonstrated proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy with intramedullary screw fixation provides superior biomechanical stability to locking plate and K-wire fixations.

Methods: Proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy was performed on 30 synthetic metatarsal models using three fixation techniques.
