Lapidus Bunionectomy

Daniel J Hatch. Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 2025 Apr.

Abstract

Since 1911, the Lapidus procedure for bunionectomy has evolved from a severity-based indication to an anatomic based system. It addresses the hallux valgus deformity at the anatomic center of rotational and angulation and frontal, transverse, and sagittal plane deformities. It has been shown to be predicable in outcomes and has a low recurrence rate versus other bunion procedures.

Keywords: Bunionectomy; Lapidus; Triplane correction.
