Objective: The minimally invasive techniques of hallux valotrotroscopy, minimum and percutaneous incision osteotomies. The advantages of the experts are not fully elucidated; in addition, this approach requires orthopedic experience for the potential risk of nerve damage. For this reason, the objective of this review was to describe the available studies on the treatment of halux valgus with arthroscopy, collecting important information about an indication and advantages of this procedure. A search was conducted in the following databases: Pubmed, Medline and Embase, for studies published up to March 2, 2025. The following descriptors were used: Hallux valgus; Treatment; Arthroscopy. Result: According to the search strategy, 52 studies were found with the aforementioned descriptors, which were again evaluated according to their design and relevance according to the theme filters, type of study and inclusion criteria. In the end, 16 complete studies remained, of which all were included. Conclusion: Most studies report satisfactory results of arthroscopic surgery in hallux valgus cases. Regarding the research, there are no randomized clinical trials, but there are no randomized clinical trials that base this technique as gold standard or large in the literature in clinical practice. New, randomized, high-throughput studies are needed.
