Lapidus Medial Approach Technique.m4v

The Lapidus procedure is most often performed from a dorsal surgical approach when correcting a bunion. However, sometimes in surgery it is better to perform a medial column fusion from a straight medial approach. In this video clip from the Surgeons Education Forum in Hershey, PA, we demonstrate and discuss the medial incisional approach for isolated medial column arthrodesis. Podiatry Institute faculty member Dr. Tyson, is sharing his surgical technique and tips with other foot and ankle surgeons and podiatric surgical residents while exposing the joint. The Tarsal Joint Distractor is utilized to facilitate excellent exposure of the articular surfaces.

Definitely cadaver, no blood, suction, marbling of the skin etc.

I agree, can't tell if this is a cadaver or a patient. Sounds like a cadaver lab though with all the conversations going on.
