Lapiplasty

Expert Lapiplasty Bunion Treatments in Cypress, TX

Lapiplasty is an advanced surgical procedure designed to correct bunions in a more effective and lasting way. Unlike traditional bunion surgeries that focus on shaving off the bump, Lapiplasty addresses the root cause of the bunion by realigning the entire metatarsal bone in three dimensions. This method stabilizes the joint and prevents the bunion from returning, offering patients a more comprehensive and reliable solution to their bunion pain and deformity.

Benefits of Lapiplasty

  • Addresses the Root Cause: Unlike traditional bunion surgery, which only removes the bump, Lapiplasty corrects the bone misalignment that causes the bunion, providing a long-term solution.
  • 3D Correction: Lapiplasty realigns the entire metatarsal bone in three dimensions, restoring normal foot anatomy.
  • Faster Recovery: Patients can often bear weight on the foot within days of surgery, which speeds up the recovery process compared to traditional surgery.
  • Lower Recurrence Rate: Since Lapiplasty corrects the underlying bone alignment, the risk of the bunion returning is significantly reduced.
  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires smaller incisions and has a shorter recovery period compared to traditional bunion surgeries.
  • Stabilizes the Joint: Lapiplasty stabilizes the affected joint with titanium plates, reducing the likelihood of future misalignment.
