LAPIPLASTY® 3D BUNION CORRECTION
IN WACO, TX
Correcting Bunions at the Source
Bunions are more than just a bump on the side of the foot. They are a progressive deformity caused by instability within the joint at the base of the big toe. As the condition worsens, patients may experience pain, swelling, difficulty wearing shoes, and limitations in daily activities. At Brazos Foot & Ankle, we offer Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction, an advanced treatment designed to correct the root cause of bunions while restoring proper alignment and stability.
What Is Lapiplasty®?
Lapiplasty® is a modern bunion correction procedure that addresses the bunion deformity in all three dimensions. Unlike traditional bunion surgery that often focuses on removing the visible bump, Lapiplasty® restores the toe to its proper position and stabilizes the unstable joint responsible for the deformity. This comprehensive correction helps improve long-term outcomes and reduce recurrence.
