Midterm outcomes of the modified Lapidus arthrodesis using the Phantom® Intramedullary Nail System for the treatment of hallux valgus.

Background: Lapidus arthrodesis is one of the most commonly used techniques in the correction of moderate and severe hallux valgus. We analyzed the clinical and radiological outcomes after using the Phantom® Lapidus intramedullary nail to find an effective technique with low complications.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of 52 patients who underwent a modified Lapidus arthrodesis with an intramedullary nail at our center from November 2019 to September 2022.

Minimally Invasive Distal Chevron Osteotomy for Symptomatic Bunionette: Clinical and Radiologic Results of a 31-Case Retrospective Study.

Background: Bunionette is a common forefoot deformity that usually leads to significant discomfort. Multiple surgical techniques have been described for correcting bunionette. The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical and radiologic outcomes of a new surgical technique via minimally invasive distal Chevron osteotomy of the fifth metatarsal without fixation, trying to find an effective technique with fewer complications.
