Abstract: A Better understanding of foot biomechanics coupled with technological advancement and governance to improve patient outcomes have facilitated newer innovations in Hallux Valgus (HV) surgery. Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is one of the greatest advances in modern medicine and an emerging trend in foot and ankle surgeries. The needs to provide a quicker post- operative recovery, reduce operative time and minimize complications have led to development of various MIS techniques in HV correction over the past decades. This systematic review aims to establish the efficacy and safety of MIS for HV correction. A systematic search of Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, Medline, Science Direct and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials from inception of database till 28th February 2014 was conducted. A total of 27 English language articles published in peer reviewed journals with available clinical and radiological outcome measures were deemed appropriate and were critically analyzed to determine the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive HV surgery (MIHVS).
