Abstract
Augmented reality is a promising technology with potential benefit in simplifying visualization and increased accuracy in orthopedic surgery. In hallux valgus surgery, an in vitro study suggests that augmented reality especially helps unexperienced surgeons to perform the osteotomy correctly. However, in clinical practice, augmented reality has not yet found entry in hallux valgus surgery. The future will show if the rapidly developing technology will overcome technical obstacles to make it beneficial to (unexperienced) surgeons.
