Scarf osteotomy
What is the Barouk technique? Is that the one taught to Barouk by Lowell Weil?
The paper discusses only the displacement method, not the rotational technique in which considerably greater reduction in I.M. angle can be achieved. Good to see a paper on the subject though.

Barouk
I do not have first hand knowledge of this but talking to those who know Barouk and Scott Weill I am led to believe those surgeons do not like, nor practice, the rotation scarf. Preferring instead the transposition scarf, correction of a very high angle is possible by overlap technique. The overlap can be very aggressive and at times it seems almost as if the medial cortex has been acquainted with the lateral cortex !
Initially sceptical, I have been using this same technique for a while now also. The results can be quite impressive but fixation, without access to the recommended cannulated screw system and / or C-arm, is technically more challenging.

Scarf osteotomy
Hello Deiter
When I started to use the transpositional technique I found it all too easy to result in 'troughing'. For this reason I tend to use the rotational technique, although a patient recently suffered a fracture of the met. - I gather that this has happened elsewhere; also, I have seen avascular necrosis reported with the rotational scarf, although I have yet to experience this. For lesser I.M. angles, I find Austin/distal L techniques perfectly adequate, bearing in mind that the I.M. angle will reduce approximately 2 degrees, simply by removing the distal/proximal tension, as in a Keller. In situations of 1st met. instablility I will use a Lapidus with or without a distal technique. 'Horses for Courses' I suppose.
I remember Barouk and Weil lecturing to the P.A. many years ago. Barouk was very happy to acknowledge that Weil had introduced him to the scarf and both Barouk and Weil disliked the use of their names used for the techniques ascribed to them. Then, both are excellent foot surgeons but I suppose that is the price of fame!
All the best

Troughing
Bill
From time to time I find troughing can be a problem especially in the older patient with softer bone. If there are signs of this, and I assess this intra-operatively, before finalising fixation, I will use the rotation osteotomy instead.
Your are quite right of course. Horses for courses it is. I remain fond of the Reverdin Green and the many modifications. A most versatile procedure, when indicated.
Increasingly I feel the same about the Scarf osteotomy - incredibly versatile.

" However, in this, shifting of the distal fragment is limited and the results show that the Austin method should be preferred in deformities with an IMT angle of about 10 degrees. "
Ridiculous!

Although this thread is old, I thought I'd add my comments.
I'm a big fan of the scarf. I feel it allows me to get significant IM reduction greater than a distal osteotomy and allow a much easier recovery than a base wedge, opening or closing. I do the rotational scarf rather than the transpositional as I too experienced troughing in the past. I have had success with both cannulated and noncsnnulated screws. the medial incision allows for excellent visualization of the screw position. Often I combine scarfs with Akins.
I have had great success with scarf procedures for large bunions that would not have faired well with distal osteotomies.
