Second Metatarsal Fracture During Lapidus Hallux Valgus Correction: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connector 2023 January 2
CASE: A 67-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis underwent Lapidus hallux valgus correction. Initial realignment was unsatisfactory, so the K-wire through the first and second metatarsals was removed. As the clamp was repositioned, the second metatarsal fractured through the K-wire hole. The Lapidus procedure was completed, and then, the fracture was fixed with a percutaneous K-wire. The tarsometatarsal fusion and second metatarsal fracture healed.
CONCLUSION: Because second metatarsal structural integrity is imperative for use of the clamp, bone quality and K-wire holes from re-reduction should be considered. Although technically challenging, this case demonstrates percutaneous fracture reduction after Lapidus hallux valgus correction.
