about Lapiplasty®
What is Lapiplasty®
The Lapiplasty 3D bunion surgery is a recently developed type of surgery for the most severe of all bunion deformities. When we address bunion deformities, we must look at the x-rays to determine the severity of the deformity by the alignment, in this case, the malalignment of the first and second metatarsal bone.
The alignment is important to determine because the apex of the deformity is where the correction needs to occur. When the bunion deformity is severe there may be also a problem behind the first metatarsal bone where it connects to the cuneiform bones, many times there is excessive motion at the cuneiform bones this may have to be addressed also at the time of the Lapiplasty procedure.
