Family Podiatry of Maryland is proud to be the only podiatry practice in Reisterstown and Owings Mills, Maryland, offering the groundbreaking Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Surgery—a revolutionary approach to treating bunions by addressing their root cause in three dimensions.
What Is Lapiplasty®?
Unlike traditional bunion surgeries that often focus solely on the visible bump, Lapiplasty® corrects the misalignment of the metatarsal bone in all three planes: sideways, upward, and rotational. This comprehensive correction is achieved by realigning the bone and stabilizing the joint with titanium plates, effectively addressing the underlying instability that causes bunions.
Proven Success and Patient Outcomes
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Lapiplasty®:
- 97–99% of patients maintained their 3D correction at 13 and 17 months post-surgery. Read more
- 97.4% experienced successful joint fusion, and 98.9% maintained joint stability throughout the study period. Read more
- The procedure boasts a low recurrence rate, with studies reporting a 1–3% chance of bunion recurrence at 13–17 months follow-up. Read more
These outcomes highlight Lapiplasty® as a durable and reliable solution for bunion correction.Read more
Faster Recovery and Return to Activity
One of the significant advantages of Lapiplasty® is the expedited recovery timeline:
- Patients can begin weight-bearing in a walking boot within 2 weeks post-surgery.
- Transition to comfortable shoes typically occurs around 6–8 weeks.
- Return to most activities and normal footwear is often possible by 4–6 months.
This accelerated recovery allows patients to resume their daily routines and preferred footwear sooner than with traditional bunion surgeries.
