Bunions can make life difficult. They can get in the way of exercising and other activities that we enjoy. They can make shoe choices impossible and cause pain daily. This often leads to patients needing surgical intervention to remove the bunion. The Lapiplasty is revolutionizing bunion surgery and creating great outcomes for patients that need to have their bunion removed.
I encourage anybody that is deciding to have their bunion removed to see a surgeon that has experience with Lapiplasty. I have been operating on bunions for over 15 years and have seen the evolution of bunion surgery. I have seen minimally invasive surgery trends; I have seen open surgery trends and now over the last 5 years have seen Lapiplasty move to the forefront. Lapiplasty is different from other bunion surgeries in many ways.
The Lapiplasty addressed the root cause of a bunion. Bunions are created when we have an unstable foot and joint. The Lapiplasty works at the apex of the bunion deformity and at the same addresses the mechanical instability of the foot. It has proven to have great long term outcomes and will soon be the most common bunion surgery correction technique.
If you would like a consultation on your bunion I can help. Call to make an appointment with me at 425-391-8666 or contact us online.
