Patented, advanced technology designed to correct all 3 dimensions of the bunion at the root of the problem (unstable joint).
WHAT IS A BUNION?
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing it to lean inward towards the other toes. This misalignment results from the gradual shifting of the bones and joint of the big toe, often due to prolonged pressure or improper footwear. Bunions can be painful and make walking uncomfortable, especially when wearing tight or narrow shoes. They can also lead to other foot problems if left untreated. Understanding the causes and symptoms of bunions is essential for effective management and prevention.
ADVANCES IN BUNION SURGERY
Bunions aren’t simply a bump. It is a complex deformity that happens at different angles and planes. It often involves an unstable joint at the base of the 1st metatarsal. Simply “shaving off” a bunion doesn’t address the root problem and proves to be inadequate. Conventional bunion surgeries often focus solely on 2D correction. In contrast, newer advances in bunion surgery offers an alternative to get to the root of the problem. Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion correction is a comprehensive three-dimensional correction system, that will effectively stabilize the problematic joint.
