• A Comparison of Post-Operative Patient Reported Outcome Measurements Following Bunion Surgery: Modified Lapidus vs Minimally Invasive Techniques

  Posted on: 05-May-2024

  Introduction/Purpose: The modified Lapidus procedure (MLP) or a minimally invasive surgery distal transverse osteotomy (MISDTO) are acceptable surgical treatment options for hallux valgus. The current literature is evolving when comparing the effects of each procedure on patient reported outcomes and post-operative complications. The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative outcomes, time to weight bear, and patient reported outcomes using the Patient Reported Outcome Instrumentation System (PROMIS) for the MLP and MISDTO.
