Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

AOFAS Score

To confirm the performance of varisation staples in conservative surgery of Hallux Valgus, according to the indications covered by the CE Marking (Akin's osteotomy) and according to the surgeon's current practice investigator. The scores range from 0 to 100, The average preoperative score was 50 to 60 points. Post-operatively, a score of 80 points is a good post-operative result, with the patient experiencing no or low levels of residual pain and full or partial recovery of joint function. The AOFAS Score is considered excellent between 90 and 100 points, good between 80 and 89, fair between 60 and 79, and poor below 60 points.

Time frame: 3 and 12 months
