What is Lapiplasty® 3D bunion correction?
Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction is a revolutionary procedure through which the board-certified podiatrists at National Foot and Ankle Center tackle the foundation of your bunion problem. This procedure not only alleviates your foot pain but it also significantly reduces the chances of you ever having to suffer another bunion again.
A bunion forms when your big toe pushes on your neighboring toe due to a weakened bone foundation. This causes a whole lot of pain and also causes some excess bone to stick out. Traditional surgeries simply cut off the excess bone and, since the weakened foundation is left untreated, your bunion can easily return again.
With Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction treatment, your podiatrist doesn’t cut off the excess bone. Instead, they realign your bones properly and further strengthen their weakened foundation with titanium fillings. Since they take care of the root of your bunion problem, the chances of you having to experience this painful foot situation again are highly decreased.
How long does Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction take?
The Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction procedure is an outpatient surgery that only takes about an hour to complete. You can rest in the comfort of your own home after your National Capital Foot and Ankle Center podiatrist finishes the procedure.
Can I return to normal activity after the lapiplasty® 3D bunion correction procedure?
You can definitely return to your day-to-day activities after the surgery, though you need some recovery time. Most patients typically begin walking again — with the assistance of a surgical boot — a few days to a few weeks after the surgery.
Within six weeks, you’re able to walk around normally in comfortable shoes, and after roughly 4 months your foot is good enough for you to go back to all the exercise and physical activities you love doing.
Can I have Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction surgery if I have undertaken a previous surgery?
Yes, many patients who come in for Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction do so after a failed traditional surgery. The board-certified podiatrists at National Capital Foot and Ankle Center tackle the root of your bunion problem so you’re given a more permanent solution.
Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction surgery at the National Foot and Ankle Center could be the solution you’ve been seeking to stop your bunion pain and start enjoying walking again. Contact the office online or over the phone today to book an appointment.
