Lapiplasty® is a surgical technique used to address hallux valgus deformity (bunions). Unlike traditional methods, it focuses on correcting the alignment of both the big toe and the metatarsal bone that supports it. An interesting aspect of the Lapiplasty® technique is its use of specialized implants, which aim to enhance healing and minimize postoperative pain. This approach may reduce the risk of the deformity returning, potentially enabling patients to resume their regular activities sooner.

Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction, created by Treace Medical Concepts, Inc., provides a 3D fix for a 3D problem, getting to the root cause. It's designed to lower the risk of bunion recurrence to 3%, and in most cases, patients are able to get back on their feet within days with a surgical boot. | The Balancing Act
