Abstract:Objective To study the clinical efficacy of Scarf combined with Akin osteotomies for moderate and severe hallux valgus. Methods Sixty (98 feet) patients received Scarf combined with Akin osteotomies were selected. Before and after the operation, all patients were examined with X-ray film, and the curative effect and imaging changes were observed. At the same time, the AOFAS score (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society foot function score system) was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Results All operations were followed up for 6 to 20 months. In 2 cases (2 feet) after operation, the back medial skin of the great toe was numb, which was considered as a nerve injury and improved after 2 to 4 months. Operative incision of 60 cases were primary healing. The average healing time was 14 weeks at osteotomy part, with no delayed union or nonunion. After surgery, hallux valgus angle (11.1?±?3.2) °, the 1 to 2 intermetataral angle (7.1?±?2.6) ° and tibial sesamoid position (2.13?±?0.50) were significantly lower than the preoperative level respectively [(39.8?±?6.2)°, (18.2?±?4.6)° and (4.79?±?0.53)°, P?0.05]. AOFAS score (86.2?±?8.2) was significantly higher after surgery than that before surgery [(36.8?±?9.2)°, P?0.05)]. Conclusion Scarf combined with Akin osteotomies can get good clinical curative effect for moderate and severe hallux valgus with less complications and low recurrence rate.
