Sumario:CATEGORY: Bunion; Other INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE: Hallux valgus affects 23 -36% in general populations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate return to run following either a modified Lapidus procedure or a metatarsal osteotomy. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in the ability to return to running. METHODS: A Retrospective review of a consecutive series of patients at a single institution with surgical correction was performed. 51 patients were identified. 35 were treated with a metatarsal shaft osteotomy and 16 with a modified Lapidus. RESULTS: No difference was found between the cohorts in terms of age, sex, or pre- operative hallux valgus angle (HVA). 27/35 (77%) with metatarsal shaft osteotomy were able to return to running versus 13/16 (81%) with modified Lapidus. There was no significant difference in the ability to return to running between cohorts (p=1.00). CONCLUSION: Our study showed no statistical difference for the modified Lapidus versus metatarsal osteotomies relative to return to running.
