Article Synopsis
- Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity that causes pain and disability, with the minimally invasive Chevron and Akin osteotomies (MICA) being a popular surgical option to treat it.
- A systematic review was conducted following strict PRISMA guidelines, analyzing studies on MICA for severe hallux valgus involving 582 patients and focusing on improvement in function and quality of life.
- The results suggest that MICA is effective, showing significant improvements in radiological measurements (like angles) and high patient satisfaction, despite a limited number of existing studies.
