At New Braunfels Podiatry Associates in New Braunfels, TX, we understand how painful and frustrating bunions can be. These bony bumps at the base of the big toe can cause discomfort, limit mobility, and make it difficult to find comfortable footwear. Fortunately, advancements in podiatric care like Lapiplasty offer a modern and effective solution for bunion correction. Dr. Ransom, a Board-Certified Podiatrist, specializes in this innovative procedure to help patients find lasting relief.

How Lapiplasty Works

Unlike traditional bunion surgery, which only removes the visible bump, Lapiplasty addresses the source of the issue: metatarsal bone misalignment. Using patented instrumentation, the procedure realigns the bone's three-dimensional deformity, restoring it to its proper position. By stabilizing the joint at its base, Lapiplasty removes the bunion and reduces the recurrence risk.

The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis; most patients can return home the same day. Recovery is also quicker and more predictable than with older methods, and most patients can bear weight on their foot within days while using a special boot.

Why Choose Lapiplasty?

Lapiplasty offers several advantages over traditional bunion surgery, including:

• Comprehensive Correction: It targets the underlying bone misalignment, providing a more complete and lasting fix.
• Lower Risk of Recurrence: Stabilizing the joint foundation helps prevent the bunion from returning.
• Faster Recovery: Many patients experience less downtime and return to normal activities sooner.

Dr. Ransom of New Braunfels Podiatry Associates is highly experienced with Lapiplasty and closely interacts with each patient to achieve the best outcome. Whether your bunion is mildly painful or severely painful, this new procedure can be the answer for you.
