Abstract

Background:
 
Hallux valgus deformity is a common chronic problem in middle age and elderly. Different surgical
procedures have been introduced so far with their proposed indications for each. This study aimed to compare three
 
current procedures namely Chevron osteotomy, Scarf osteotomy and McBride technique.
 
 
Methods:
 
In this study, 44 patients were included from 2010 to 2013. All patients had been undergone one of the
three current procedures including Chevron, Scarf or McBride techniques. Preoperative and follow-up radiographies
 
 
were evaluated in terms of hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles. Foot Ankle Disability Index was filled to assess
the functional. A Visual Analogue Scale evaluated pain. Also, satisfaction, aesthetic and the rate of recurrence were
evaluated.
Results:
 
Functional score, aesthetic and satisfaction level were higher in Scarf technique rather than Chevron and
McBride techniques. Also, pain score and recurrence rate were lower in Scarf Technique rather the other two techniques.
 
 
Conclusions:
 
With respect to better results with Scarf osteotomy in this study, we recommend Scarf osteotomy as
 
a first choice for treatment of moderate hallux valgus deformity.
