Bunion Background

Bunion Basics

• 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

Most bunion procedures have a BAD reputation because of cutting the metatarsal bone does not fix the problem

At Foot and Ankle Center of Iowa, we perform Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction, a groundbreaking procedure that restores the natural 3D alignment of the foot.

Unlike traditional bunion surgery, which often addresses only the cosmetic bump, Lapiplasty corrects the root cause of the deformity at the joint level. This innovative approach leads to improved function, greater long-term stability, and a significantly reduced risk of recurrence.

With high patient satisfaction and strong success rates, Lapiplasty offers a more predictable recovery and a quicker return to activity for many individuals.
