Background. In the adolescent population, operative management of hallux-valgus is controversial. Operations may be less successful than in adults and post-operative recurrence is more common before full skeletal maturity. This study assesses the radiographic, functional and qualitative outcomes of surgical Hallux Valgus correction in adolescents. Methods. Three independent reviewers retrospectively analysed pre and post-operative radiological markers of hallux valgus severity for 44 operations on patients age 13–18. The patient cohort were also asked the Manchester-Oxford foot questionnaire (MOXFQ) to assess functional outcome via telephone interview and patient notes were reviewed for any evidence of complications. Results. There was no evidence of NICE recognised complications from any of the operations performed, however there was persistence or recurrence in 20.8%, requiring a second operation in 10.3%. Radiologically, all operations performed resulted in a reduction in hallux valgus severity. The hallux valgus angle showed a mean reduction of 18.0 degrees (16.3–19.7) and the inter-metatarsal angle by 7.3 degrees (6.55–8.14). 93% of operations resulted in a good MOXFQ outcome score of less than 20 out of a possible 80 negative functional outcome points. This score worsened with age in a statistically significant manner (p=0.03) but had no significant correlation with BMI. Conclusion. Surgical correction of adolescent hallux valgus reduces the radiographic severity, which correlates with good long term outcome. This surgery provides beneficial results to the patient, however there is a high recurrence rate, correlating with younger age and this must be taken into account
