Association Between Postoperative Medial-Middle Intercuneiform Joint Widening and Recurrence Rates in Hallux Valgus Treated With Modified Lapidus Procedure
Our study results suggest a possible association between early postoperative widening of the C1-C2 joint and the recurrence of the HV deformity following a modified Lapidus procedure. This raises, but does not answer, the question as to whether the routine stabilization of intercuneiform joint directly or indirectly may help reduce the rate of hallux valgus recurrence when performing the modified Lapidus procedure.
