The Lapidus procedure, once complex and yielding poor hallux valgus results, is re-examined. This study argues for its continued efficacy and place in foot surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Podiatric surgery
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • The Lapidus procedure for hallux valgus correction has faced declining use due to perceived complexity and suboptimal outcomes.
  • Historical data suggests challenges associated with the Lapidus procedure, leading to its reduced application in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-evaluate the Lapidus procedure for hallux valgus.
  • To redefine the indications and optimal use of the Lapidus procedure.
  • To advocate for the continued relevance of the Lapidus procedure in the foot surgeon's toolkit.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and current literature on the Lapidus procedure.
  • Analysis of case studies and outcomes associated with the procedure.

  • Clinical assessment of patient selection and surgical technique.

    • Main Results:

    • The article presents evidence supporting the efficacy of the Lapidus procedure when performed correctly.
    • Specific indications for the Lapidus procedure are identified, highlighting patient and deformity characteristics.
    • The authors demonstrate that the procedure, when indicated, can yield favorable results.

    Conclusions:

    • The Lapidus procedure remains a viable and effective surgical option for specific cases of hallux valgus.
    • Proper patient selection and meticulous surgical technique are crucial for successful outcomes.
    • The Lapidus procedure deserves reconsideration as a valuable tool in orthopedic foot and ankle surgery.
