Abstract
The Lapidus arthrodesis can be a powerful but technically challenging procedure. Common pitfalls include gapping at the arthrodesis site, shortening, and residual malalignment. Herein is described a simple and reproducible technique to obtain a congruent arthrodesis site with excellent deformity correction and minimal bone loss by the use of joint kerfing.
