}The modified Lapidus arthrodesis is a long-established surgical technique for management of hallux valgus that provides reproducible results and quality patient outcomes. The data from 367 consecutive patients undergoing unilateral modified Lapidus arthrodesis from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 at participating centers were retrospectively evaluated. The included patients were categorized into early weightbearing (≤ 21 days) and delayed weightbearing (> 21 days) groups. A total of 24…

Early Weightbearing After Arthrodesis of the First Metatarsal‐Medial Cuneiform Joint: A Systematic Review of the Incidence of Nonunion
- MedicineThe Journal of foot and ankle surgery : official publication of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
- 2018
A systematic review of the incidence of nonunion after early weightbearing in patients who underwent arthrodesis of the first metatarsal‐medial cuneiform articulation for correction of a hallux abducto valgus deformity indicated that the Lapidus procedure does not always require an extended period of postoperative non‐weightbearing immobilization.
