    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Podiatric Medicine
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • The Lapidus operation for hallux valgus and metatarsus primus varus has faced challenges due to historical misuse.
    • Past perceptions of the procedure as a universal solution led to suboptimal results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clarify the appropriate indications for the Lapidus operation.
    • To discuss the specific patient profiles and foot conditions that benefit most from this surgical technique.
    • To illustrate the correct surgical procedure for optimal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the Lapidus operation's historical application and outcomes.
    • Analysis of patient factors and foot biomechanics relevant to surgical success.
    • Detailed illustration of the surgical technique.

    Main Results:

    • The Lapidus operation is best suited for severe cases of hallux valgus with associated metatarsus primus varus.
    • Optimal results are observed in patients with significant first ray hypermobility and a collapsed distal-medial arch.
    • Misapplication of the technique for less severe or different conditions has led to poor outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The Lapidus operation, when applied to specific indications, can be a highly effective surgical correction.
    • Understanding and adhering to the proper indications, particularly severe deformities with first ray instability, is key to successful surgical outcomes.
    • Correct technique application is essential for achieving favorable results in patients undergoing Lapidus procedures.
