RESUMO
This review article examines contemporary methods and assesses radiographic outcomes and postoperative complications following the modified Lapidus procedure. A systematic review demonstrated significant improvements in intermetatarsal angle, hallux valgus angle, and tibial sesamoid position. We are updating a modified Lapidus technique for achieving triplanar correction of hallux valgus. Two cases of hallux valgus, one primary and one recurrent, are presented. As demonstrated in the systematic review, outcomes of Lapidus procedures create future opportunities. Surprisingly, only 78% of the studies assessed for this review reported on the hallux valgus angle and only 33% reported on tibial sesamoid position.
