Abstract
Hallux valgus (HV) has been around for over a century and a half, the osteoarticular deformity of the forefoot having most stimulated the imaginations of surgeons interested in this pathology and its treatment. Numerous techniques and surgical variations have been described over the years reaching around 150 therapeutic procedures [1]. Scarf osteotomy is a technique described by Burutaran [2] in 1976, taken up by Weil [3,4] and Borelli in 1990 and popularized in France by Barouk.
