%X <strong>Background:</strong> Hallux valgus deformity is one of the most common chronic and progressive foot deformities. Surgical correction of the deformity plays a central role in the treatment of symptomatic hallux valgus. However, more than one hundred different surgical techniques have been described. <strong>Objective:</strong> To assess the radiological outcome of hallux valgus surgical correction using a scarf and akin osteotomies. <strong>Materials and methods:</strong> A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted on 25 adult patients (36 feet). Twenty-two females and two males with hallux valgus were treated with surgical correction using a scarf and akin osteotomies. All candidates were kept on regular postoperative, scheduled clinical follow-up programs for one year and assessed radiologically. <strong>Results:</strong> Twenty-five patients (36 feet) were included in this study. The hallux valgus angle significantly shifted to the normal range (less than 15&deg;) after surgery, and the inter-metatarsal angle also improved to the normal range (less than 9&deg;). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Using scarf and akin osteotomies in treating moderate and severe hallux valgus deformity provides the satisfactory radiological outcomes in form of decreasing hallux valgus angle and inter-metatarsal angle.
