Despite numerous studies describing the surgical technique, only a few provide clinical or radiological outcome data. This systematic review aimed to analyze studies presenting objectively measurable clinical outcomes of patients who underwent 1 MTP arthroscopy as the primary procedure, categorizing results by indication pathology.
