Hallux Valgus

Hallux valgus is a deformity where the first metatarsal bone tilts inward, causing the big toe to angle outward. This condition is more common in women, often due to the prolonged use of pointed-toe and high-heeled shoes. Over time, hallux valgus can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and problems finding comfortable footwear


Treatment options for hallux valgus vary depending on the type of deformity and the patient’s anatomy. Surgical procedures are applied to different sections of the first metatarsal bone—whether proximal, midshaft, or distal—and are frequently combined with soft tissue adjustments for optimal results.


A personalized approach is critical in hallux valgus treatment, as the successful outcome depends on selecting and combining the most appropriate procedures for each patient. 

3D Lapidus Surgery and Patient-Specific Technique

Lapidus surgery is used to correct hallux valgus by addressing the base of the first metatarsal bone. When performed correctly, it provides excellent results across all degrees of hallux valgus, even in severe cases. Virtual surgery on 3D computer models of the patient’s foot anatomy and custom-made Lapidus surgical guides produced with 3D printing technology significantly improves the success rate. This approach ensures that the procedure is highly accurate and reduces the margin for error.
