Boring

My friend is having an operation on her foot and was told the procedure is called a "Lapidus" but i can't find any references to any such op.
I did, however google up a reference to one Paul Lapidus, founder of the podiatry section of NYU.
Does anyone know where i can find more specific procedural information on the operation apparently attributed to this guy and what distinguishes his from a garden variety hallux abducto valgus.

Uhhh... ::looks distressed:: I don't think we have a foot expert.

Do we?

Sometimes extra terms help with Google. "lapidus foot operation" yields, among other links, the following:

Failsafe is alive and well in SF CA, and I can never convince him to stick around online with us. We chat on the phone a lot.

Dude...I don't know what's wrong with this guy's foot, but if the doctors mess it up, the toes will be shorter. I think.
