Key Surgical Steps

How the Lapiplasty® Procedure Works

Illustration and X-Ray image showing step 1 of the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ procedure, where a surgeon uses the Lapiplasty® Positioner to quickly and reproducibly correct the alignment in all three planes, establishing and holding true anatomic alignment of the metatarsal and sesamoids.

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

Illustration and X-Ray image showing step 2 of the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ procedure, where a surgeon uses the Lapiplasty® Cut Guide to deliver precise cuts with the metatarsal held in the corrected positions, ensuring optimal cut trajectory with only 2.4-3.1mm average metatarsal shortening.

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

Illustration and X-Ray image showing step 3 of the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ procedure, where a surgeon uses the Lapiplasty® Compressor to deliver over 150N of controlled compression to the precision-cut joint surfaces while maintaining the 3-plane correction.

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.

Illustration and X-Ray image showing step 4 of the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ procedure, where a surgeon uses Low-profile Biplanar™ Plating to provide biomechanically-tested multiplanar stability for rapid return to weight-bearing in a boot.

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
