What is a Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction? - Nova Sophia - 12-01-2025
Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction – Illinois Foot Clinic is a surgical procedure that corrects bunions by addressing their root cause in three dimensions: the unstable joint. Unlike traditional methods, Lapiplasty realigns the bone, secures the unstable foundation with titanium hardware, and allows patients to walk in a boot shortly after surgery. This approach restores the bone to its normal anatomy and helps prevent recurrence.
How does it work?
- 3D Correction: The procedure corrects the bunion in three dimensions by rotating the misaligned bone back into its normal position, rather than just cutting and shaving it.
- Addresses the root cause: It stabilizes the unstable foundation of the joint, which is the root cause of the bunion, and secures the correction with titanium hardware.
- Faster recovery: The use of specialized instrumentation and fixation technology allows for a faster return to weight-bearing in a boot, typically within a few days to two weeks after surgery.
- Restores function: By realigning the entire bone, the procedure not only improves the bunion's appearance but also restores proper function, allowing for a more natural walking motion and reducing uneven pressure.
