Bunion
- Hereditary condition
- Deviation of the first metatarsal and big toe over time due to the forces of walking
- Extremely common
- 36% incidence
- Shoes cause irritation and pain, but do not cause the bunion
Approximately 29% of people with bunions have a second deformity called Metatarsus Adductus (MTA)
- The angle of the second and third metatarsal blocks correction
- The second and third metatarsals need to be moved out of the way (lined up to where they should be) to make room to correct the bunion
Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty®
We utilize the same 3D principles, instrumentation and plating to achieve anatomic normalization of the foot structure.
After correction the foot is narrower, functions better and the result is long-lasting.
