How adductor hallucis reattachment affects outcomes following scarf osteotomy in hallux valgus correction: A four to eight year follow-up retrospective comparative study

This study observed the differences between two adductor hallucis release techniques (non-reattachment vs reattachment) in four to eight year follow-up outcomes of scarf osteotomy combined with distal soft tissue release (DSTR) in moderate-severe hallux valgus correction. A retrospective review of moderate-severe hallux valgus patients treated with scarf osteotomy with DSTR was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups based on adductor hallucis release techniques (without and with reattachment to the metatarsophalangeal joint capsule).
