Do The Metal Plates Limit Mobility Post-Bunion Surgery? | Lapiplasty® Recovery

The metal plates from Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion CorrectionTM do not limit your functionality. Hear from Dr. Bret Smith, a foot specialist from Durango, CO, as he explains that the plates are designed to help the function of the foot by taking away an unstable joint.

Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion CorrectionTM features patented, advanced technology designed to correct all three dimensions of the bunion at the root of the problem (unstable joint). This surgical technology returns your entire bone to normal 3D alignment and the unstable joint is secured with patented, titanium plates to get you back on your feet quickly (typically within 3-10 days in a walking boot).1,2,3

I’m being told that is if I get my bunion surgery again- this time with the metal plate that I won’t have anymore bunion pain. What I’m wondering is what are my limitations other than not wearing heels or doing yoga ever again? Can I still go on my tippy toes etc?
