The treatment of hallux valgus in patients with pathology of the first tarsometatarsal (TMT I) joint by fusion is an established procedure. Multiple osteosynthesis methods for the fixation of the TMT I joint are available. In comparison to the distal procedures the Lapidus bunionectomy is associated with a pseudarthrosis rate of up to 12% [9-11]. We present results after TMT-I arthrodesis using an interfragmentary screw and a plantar plate compared with an interfragmentary screw and a dorsomedial locking plate. Clinical and radiological examinations were performed preoperatively, six weeks and one year postoperatively. The AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) score and Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS) were evaluated preoperatively and 12 months after surgery. We observed a significantly increased rate of undesirable effects in mediodorsal plate positioning.

Joint arthrodesis is a very common surgical approach in foot and ankle surgery at various anatomic levels. Several techniques have demonstrated the ability to provide successful fusion with appropriate preparation of the joint in question. With that in mind, the joint preparation, regardless of approach or instrumentation, is consistently the most time-consuming.

Lapidus is a common procedure in our armamentarium for the treatment of hallux valgus deformity. This study presents to the reader that it can be performed percutaneously. It is a technically difficult procedure to perform that requires didactic and cadaveric percutaneous training.

While the Lapidus bunionectomy is a common procedure utilized to address hallux valgus, the incidence of secondary surgery is not well established. Our primary goal was to determine the incidence of revision surgery and hardware removal following the Lapidus bunionectomy in addition to the risk factors associated with each. A retrospective nested case-control study of adult patients who underwent a Lapidus bunionectomy for symptomatic hallux valgus over a 9-year period was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Hallux valgus is a foot problem where the big toe angles toward the other toes, and a surgery called modified Lapidus is often done to fix it.
- This study looked at how the position of the big toe after surgery affects how patients feel about their pain and ability to move.
- Results showed that after surgery, patients felt better in areas like physical activity and pain, but the position change of the toe didn't affect their mental health scores.

The traditional postoperative management of common foot and ankle procedures has involved a prolonged period of immobilization and nonweight bearing. The concern was loss of correction and fixation failure. However, it has been shown that a prolonged period of nonweight bearing can predispose patients possible deep vein thrombosis, disuse osteopenia, cardiovascular complications, and generalized deconditioning.
