Incisions from one of yesterday's minimal incision lapidus patients (I drew a Jack-o-lantern to mark the foot:)
In my opinion, this represents a significant advancement in bunion surgery: to be able to do a lapidus TMT fusion, through small percutaneous incisions, with fixation that is very strong, avoids plantar gapping, sub-cortical, gets great compression, and the patient cannot palpate the fixation through the skin....all on under 45 minutes. That is significant innovation.
