What is a bunion? | Learn What Causes Bunions and How to Spot Symptoms

What exactly is a bunion? To clear up the common misunderstanding that bunions are just a bump on the side of the big toe, bunions are in fact complex 3D deformities caused by the big toe joint drifting out of alignment. Bunion symptoms include pain, swelling, pressure, and numbness, and this discomfort may restrict people from the physical activities they love most.

Bunions can be addressed with Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction®, which rotates that joint in the middle of the foot back to normal alignment, treating the root cause and reducing the risk of recurrence. [1], [2], [3] The Lapiplasty® Procedure might be the solution you’ve been searching for to find relief from bunion pain and get you back on your feet!

Lapiplasty® is a surgical procedure. There are risks associated with surgery. Risks include infection, pain, implant loosening and loss of correction with improper bone healing. Individual results may vary depending on age, weight, health, and other variables and recovery takes time. For more information on
