title: Lapidus arthrodesis plus osteochondral autograft transplantation in the management of hallux rigidus with an elevated first ray.
abstract: The range of joint-sparing treatments for advanced hallux rigidus is still very limited. The authors describe an osteochondral autograft transplantation technique combined with Lapidus arthrodesis as a novel method of obtaining a relatively symptom-free first metatarsophalangeal joint function in patients with hallux rigidus and first-ray elevation.
