The Scarf Osteotomy with Minimally Invasive Lateral Release for Treatment of Hallux Valgus Deformity: Intermediate and Long-Term Results

Conclusions: The recurrence rate after ten years was 30%, and a higher final HVA resulted in higher pain levels. The limitations imposed by nonvalidated outcome measures precluded conclusions about the influence of HVA on function or quality of life. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV.
