Abstract
We continue to use the M1 scarf osteotomy even for mild deformity, because in this case, the very strong fixation allows an extremely early recovery and the long term results are very reliable. We observe generally a “restituto ad integrum” of the forefoot. The specificities of this procedure in such case are a small lateral displacement, sometimes a cut shorter than in moderate or severe deformities.
