Content
FIG. 2C is a perspective medial view of a foot illustrating a dorsal side 280 and a plantar side 282. The foot 200, as illustrated, may have a tibia 226 and a fibula 228, among others. Dorsal refers to the top of the foot. Plantar refers to the bottom of the foot. Proximal 284 is defined as “closer to the primary attachment point”. Distal 286 is defined as “further away from the attachment point”. Plantarflex or plantarflexion 288 means movement toward the plantar side 282 of a foot or hand, toward the sole or palm. Dorsiflex or dorsiflexion 290 means movement toward the dorsal side 280 of a foot or hand, toward the top. FIG. 2D is a perspective dorsal view of the foot 200. A transverse plane is the plane that shows the top of the foot. A lateral side 292 means a side furthest away from the midline of a body, or away from a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. A medial side 294 means a side closest to the midline of a body, or toward a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. For a Lapidus procedure, the intermetatarsal (IM) angle 296 is the angle to be corrected to remove the hallux valgus (bunion) deformity.
