Introduction

The management of adolescent hallux valgus (AHV) remains controversial, with reservations about both conservative and surgical treatments. Non-operative management has a limited role in preventing progression. Surgical correction of AHV has, amongst other concerns, been associated with a high prevalence of recurrence of deformity after surgery. We conducted a systematic review to assess clinical and radiological outcomes following surgery for AHV.

Methods & Materials

A comprehensive literature search was performed in the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Pubmed. The study was performed in accordance with the recommendations of the PRISMA guidelines. Demographic data, radiographic parameters, and results of validated clinical scoring system were analysed.
