Abstract
The scarf osteotomy has become the workhorse procedure for a large proportion of foot and ankle surgeons, especially in Europe, in the treatment of hallux valgus. Such a versatile procedure should not be underestimated, and planning and thought should precede any such procedure. The angle of bone cuts and magnitude of translation dictate the final position, and all movement axes should be given equal attention.
