Understanding the Lapiplasty Procedure at Foot and Ankle Centers

The Lapiplasty procedure is a cutting-edge surgical treatment designed to correct bunions, offering a more permanent solution than traditional methods. Unlike older procedures that only address the bunion's appearance, Lapiplasty realigns the bone at its root, restoring proper foot mechanics and function. This reduces the likelihood of the bunion returning.

While Lapiplasty is a highly effective treatment for severe bunions, it does come with risks, including infection, nerve damage, and prolonged recovery times. It’s important to consider these before opting for surgery.

Non-surgical alternatives, such as custom orthotics, proper footwear, and physical therapy, can alleviate pain and slow bunion progression. At Foot & Ankle Centers, our specialists will help you explore the best treatment options tailored to your foot health needs. If surgery is the right path, we’ll guide you through the Lapiplasty procedure to ensure a successful outcome.
