The Lapidus operation for correction of severe hallux valgus with metatarsus primus varus has never been well accepted by foot surgeons. The main reason for this has been the poor results obtained from its misuse. Lapidus strongly advocated the operation as a virtual panacea for correction of all degrees of severity of these deformities in both young and old patients. The technique, however, is appropriate for severe metatarsus primus varus with hallux valgus, in the foot with marked first ray hypermobility and collapsed distal-medial arch. The purpose and proper indications for the Lapidus operation are discussed, and the technique is illustrated.
用于矫正伴有第一跖骨内翻的重度拇外翻的拉皮德斯手术从未被足外科医生广泛接受。主要原因是其滥用导致效果不佳。拉皮德斯强烈主张将该手术作为矫正这些畸形所有严重程度的万能疗法，适用于年轻和老年患者。然而，该技术适用于伴有拇外翻的重度第一跖骨内翻、第一跖骨明显活动过度且内侧远侧足弓塌陷的足部情况。本文讨论了拉皮德斯手术的目的和恰当适应症，并对该技术进行了说明。
