Introduction

Scar sensitivity is a recognised complication of foot surgery. However there is very little published about it. This study looks at the incidence and natural history of scar sensitivity following hallux valgus surgery.

Materials and Methods

Patients who had open hallux valgus surgery from December 2008 to December 2009, with a minimum follow up of 12 months, were contacted. Data regarding scar symptoms, their duration, severity at their worst and interventions undertaken were collected. Patients also completed a Roles and Maudsley patient satisfaction score.
