Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction
All physicians at Erie Foot & Ankle Center are certified in the revolutionary Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction system. Unlike traditional procedures that simply cut and shift the bone, Lapiplasty® addresses the true root cause of bunions by:
– Correcting the bunion in all three dimensions
– Securing the unstable joint at the base of the toe
– Significantly reducing the chance of bunion recurrence
– Allowing patients to bear weight on their foot within days of surgery
– Getting you back to your normal activities faster
Most patients are walking in a protective boot within two weeks following surgery, and can return to their normal footwear much sooner than with traditional bunion surgery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Bunionectomy
Our doctors also specialize in state-of-the-art Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Bunionectomy procedures, which offer:
– Smaller incisions (typically 3mm or less)
– Significantly less scarring
– Reduced post-operative pain
– Faster recovery time
– Excellent cosmetic results
This advanced technique allows us to correct your bunion through tiny incisions, resulting in a foot that not only feels better but looks better too.
Which Procedure is Right for You?
During your consultation, our expert physicians will evaluate your condition, review radiographic images, and recommend the most appropriate treatment option based on your specific needs, lifestyle, and severity of your bunion.
