Abstract
Hallux valgus surgery concerns many patients and various techniques are performed. The assessment of the first toe deformity correction is mainly visual and imaging is required to analyze the intermetatarsal angle and depict complications. However, it is often difficult for the radiologist to distinguish normal and pathological conditions, especially in case of osteotomies which may show various aspects of bone mineralization and healing. In this review, the most relevant imaging features of the post-operative hallux valgus are summarized.
