The Lapiplasty® Procedure is a revolutionary new solution for correcting bunions. This procedure differs from traditional bunion surgery by addressing the root cause of the bunion deformity, which is a 3-dimensional problem. The Lapiplasty® Procedure uses advanced instrumentation and patented technology to correct the bunion deformity in all three dimensions, which allows for a more stable and long-lasting correction.

During the Lapiplasty® Procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions on the side of the foot and uses specialized instrumentation to realign the bones in the foot. The procedure involves cutting the bone, rotating it back into its normal position, and then securing it in place with specially designed plates and screws. This creates a stable, three-dimensional correction of the bunion deformity.

One of the main advantages of the Lapiplasty® Procedure is that it allows for a quicker recovery time compared to traditional bunion surgery. Patients are typically able to bear weight on their foot and walk within days of the procedure. Additionally, the Lapiplasty® Procedure has been shown to have a low complication rate and a high success rate in achieving a long-lasting correction of the bunion deformity.

If you are considering bunion surgery, it is important to discuss all of your options with a qualified medical professional. The Lapiplasty® Procedure may be a viable option for you if you are looking for a quicker recovery time and a more stable, long-lasting correction of your bunion deformity.
