Abstract Summary
Chevron osteotomy outperforms scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus (bunion) correction, reducing the hallux valgus angle more effectively and improving functional outcomes. However, both procedures show similar results for intermetatarsal angle correction and pain relief, suggesting chevron may offer advantages in specific deformity parameters.
Why Brain? ðŸ§
Chevron osteotomy shows better outcomes than scarf for bunion correction, reducing toe angle more effectively and improving foot function scores, though both procedures similarly reduce bone angle and pain.
