Intermetatarsal Screw Fixation Reduced Intermetatarsal Angle following Modified Lapidus Procedures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Logan Reed presents a study conducted at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, on intermetatarsal screw fixation following modified laparoscopic procedures for the treatment of hallux valgus. The study aimed to evaluate the radiographic parameters in patients who received intermetatarsal screw fixation compared to those who did not. The study included a retrospective review of 74 patients who underwent the procedure between 2016 and 2020. The results showed that patients who received the intermetatarsal screw had a significant reduction in the intermetatarsal angle compared to those who did not. This information can help surgeons determine the need for intermetatarsal screw fixation and its impact on radiographic parameters.
