New 2026 paper: META vs Lapidus vs Scarf for hallux valgus correction.
⚠️ Scarf showed greater risk of 1st metatarsal shortening (>4 mm in 7 cases). None in META or Lapidus.
My take: a straight toe with a painful forefoot is not a win. Mechanics matter.
Lapidus isn’t the end of the story.
WBCT data shows C1–C2 widening is associated with recurrence after bunion correction.
You fuse TMT1 → force transfers → intercuneiform joint becomes the weak link.
Hallux valgus is a medial column problem, not just a joint problem.
