Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity that may cause pain and functional limitation, and often requires surgical correction. Clinical and radiographic parameters are typically used to assess postoperative outcomes. Plantar pressure distribution systems represent an innovative additional tool to evaluate hallux functional outcome after surgery. A systematic review of the current literature was performed to assess evaluation systems used for plantar pressure analysis and differences before and after hallux valgus surgery, and a possible relationship between different surgical techniques and clinical and radiographic results. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used for this review. Initial search results yielded 40 studies. Two additional studies were found through cross-reference. Twenty-five studies were screened. A total of 10 articles were included in the review process. Two main plantar pressure analysis systems were identified. Hallux function restoration based on plantar pressure measurement did not always occur. No relevant relationships between plantar pressure distribution data and different surgical techniques were established. All patients achieved satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes, regardless of surgical techniques used; however, no clear relationships were observed between clinical and radiographic results and the change in foot plantar pressure patterns. The current literature on this topic showed several methodologic limitations. Therefore, it is not possible to provide sufficiently supported evidence-based data regarding plantar pressure distribution rebalance after surgery using current plantar pressure analysis systems. Further investigations are needed to fill these gaps in evidence.
