Abstract INTRODUCTION: Walking is a complex activity, requiring a strict balance, where the entire lower limb acts together to perform the movement and where the foot is the only part that acts on the ground. Therefore, any anatomical and biomechanical alteration of the foot has an impact on the ambulation. OBJECTIVE: to determine the degree of functional - radiological correlation in patients treated by the scarf osteotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Correlational and cross-sectional study. 78 patients diagnosed with hallux valgus were studied. Functional and radiological (AOFAS Scale) assessment was performed on all patients with hallux valgus operated by scarf osteotomy; the correlation between each patient's functional and radiological assessment was also established using the squared chi test. RESULTS: Having obtained the critical value of Chi - squared ((X2c x 12,992), it was found that this is less than the value of the Chi - calculated square, both for the phalangeal metatarsus angle (X2 x 40.715) and the inter-metatarsal angle (X2 x 16,539); which means that the null hypothesis was not accepted (Functional results do not correlate with radiological results inversely proportional). CONCLUSION: A degree of reverse correlation between functional and radiological results was determined in patients treated with scarf osteotomy; α = 0.05; p = 0.95. - meaning that the greater the gradation of hallux valgus (mild, moderate and severe), the lower the AOFAS scale score (poor, acceptable, good and excellent).
