Lapiplasty® 3-Plane Correction at the CORA
- Instrumented Reproducibility
- Rapid Weight-Bearing1
- Low Recurrence at 13-17 month follow-up1,2
Key Surgical Steps
How the Lapiplasty® Procedure Works
1. Correct
Make Your Correction Before You Cut
The Lapiplasty® Positioner is engineered to quickly and reproducibly correct the alignment in all three planes, establishing and holding true anatomic alignment of the metatarsal and sesamoids.1
2. Cut
Perform Precision Cuts with Confidence
The Lapiplasty® Cut Guide delivers precise cuts with the metatarsal held in the corrected positions, ensuring optimal cut trajectory with only 2.4-3.1mm average metatarsal shortening.3
3. Compress
Achieve Controlled Compression of Joint Surfaces
The Lapiplasty® Compressor delivers over 150N of controlled compression4 to the precision-cut joint surfaces while maintaining the 3-plane correction.
4. Fixate
Apply Multiplanar Fixation for Robust Stability
Low-profile Biplanar™ Plating provides biomechanically-tested5,6 multiplanar stability for rapid return to weight-bearing in a boot.1
Lapiplasty® System
Biomechanically Tested5,6 for Rapid Weight-Bearing1
Our low-profile Biplanar™ Plating has been biomechanically tested5,6 (and published) to be superior to a standard Lapidus plate and compression screw construct.5
