When conservative treatment fails, it is necessary to resort to a surgical approach. The fixation elements for osteotomies in the hallux are usually composed of metallic materials; however, today, there are numerous resorbable materials that offer numerous advantages over conventional materials. In this article, the objective is to analyze the scientific evidence through the systematic analysis of the existing literature in relation to the effectiveness of resorbable versus non-resorbable osteosynthesis material in the surgical correction of hallux deformities and compare the complications as well as the patient satisfaction and quality of life between both fixation methods. A systematic review of the literature available in the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Scopus databases and 10 studies were included. The documents were chosen following the eligibility and exclusion criteria, including experimental and observational studies evaluated with the Jadad and Newcastle-Ottawa methodological quality scale, respectively. Data were extracted from valid studies for the review, and the variables functionality, pain, angular corrections, complications, satisfaction and quality of life were observed. In conclusion, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of resorbable versus non-resorbable osteosynthesis material in the surgical correction of hallux deformities. All observed variables are similar regardless of the surgical technique and osteosynthesis material used.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life13102018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,6]],"date-time":"2023-10-06T01:07:13Z","timestamp":1696554433000},"page":"2018","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparison of Resorbable and Non-Resorbable Osteosynthesis Material in Hallux Surgery: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5714-6594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Cohe\u00f1a-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, University of Seville, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Prieto-Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, University of Seville, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3188-2010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Juana","family":"P\u00e9rez-Belloso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, University of Seville, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9663-5016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Manuel","family":"Muriel-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, Cl\u00ednica Centro Lepe, Calle Rincona, 31, Lepe, 21440 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7839-4789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"G\u00f3mez-Carri\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, University Complutense of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Monta\u00f1o-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department, University of Seville, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mcna.2013.10.007","article-title":"Hallux valgus","volume":"98","author":"Hecht","year":"2014","journal-title":"Med.
