Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™
Treating the real problem behind your bunion, so you can heal faster and stay corrected longer.
Bunions Surgery Has Changed
Most people think a bunion is just a bump that can be shaved down. This is not the case. A bunion forms because of an unstable joint in the middle of your foot, and that instability is the real problem.
Traditional bunion surgery usually only corrects the visible bump, a 2D fix for a 3D problem, which is why bunions so often come back. Lapiplasty® takes a different approach, correcting the joint itself in all three dimensions and addressing the cause instead of just the symptom.
Lapiplasty Vs Traditional Surgery
Lapiplasty®
-
Corrects the entire bone in 3D, not just the surface
-
Fixes the unstable joint at the root of the problem
-
Back on your feet in a boot, often within 2 weeks
Traditional 2D Surgery
-
Cuts and shifts bone, a surface level fix only
-
Leaves the unstable joint untreated
-
Off your feet for 6 to 8 weeks or more
