Treace Medical Lapiplasty®

The Lapiplasty is a revolutionary new, state of the art procedure to address bunions, also known as a hallux valgus deformity,

  • Bunions,  are a complex, three-dimensional problem. An unstable joint allows the bone to drift out of the correct 3D alignment, both leaning and rotating inward.
  • Did You Know? As many as 1 in 3 patients are DISSATISFIED (aesthetics, pain or function) after traditional 2D bunion surgery.

There is a better way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will I be off my feet after surgery?

The Lapiplasty® Procedure utilizes advanced fixation technology, published in the Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery, that allows many patients to put weight on their foot within days after surgery.

Actual time to weight bearing will vary, but typically ranges from immediately after surgery to 2-3 weeks.

Will I have to wear a cast after the surgery?

No, most patients will have their foot wrapped in bandages for a few days and then use a surgical boot to walk during recovery.

Can I return to fashionable shoes?

The Lapiplasty® Procedure allows most patients to return to their desired shoe gear without any limitations. Of course some fashionable shoes can be painful (even with a normal foot), so results can vary from person to person and shoe to shoe.

Can I play sports after the Lapiplasty® Procedure?

Yes, there are no permanent activity limitations after the Lapiplasty® Procedure. Most patients are able to return to sports after the bones have completely healed at approximately 4 months.

Patient Experiences

“I can’t wait to also get my left foot done – my right is so much better. My sister had bunion surgery at the same time as me in Denver and she can’t get back in dress shoes and may need a revision surgery. My sister can’t understand why I can wear all my heels with no problem and how I got better so fast. My sister still has a big bump and calluses that are painful.”

“I have had two bunion surgeries. This time was so much easier than the first time. I had very little pain and I could walk almost right away!”
TiffanyWest Virginia
“Four weeks in on my right foot and my doctor says the X-rays show the fusion site is completely healed! My big toe has lost practically no mobility, so I don’t need any physical therapy. I’ve scheduled the surgery for my left foot for two months from now. Hooray for Lapiplasty!”
EmilyPennsylvania
“My husband and I felt my foot looked so much better after my Lapiplasty bunion surgery. Much better than expected.
