Lapidus Procedure
Description
In this instructional video, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Ellis performs a Lapidus procedure to correct an isolated bunion. Dr. Ellis begins by explaining the patient's condition, noting that while her toes have a slight valgus drift, the primary concern is the bunion itself. The procedure involves a first tarsometatarsal fusion to correct the bunion, using a plate and screw construct for stabilization and compression.
