Lapiplasty Explained: Fixing Bunions at the Source

Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction is a surgical procedure that fixes bunions by correcting the bone alignment—not just shaving the bump. The surgeon realigns the first metatarsal bone at the base of the big toe, trims the joint surfaces, and locks everything in place with plates and screws so the bone can’t drift out of position again. The goal is a stable correction that heals solid and lasts. What you’ll learn in this video: • Why bunions form when the first metatarsal shifts out of alignment • How Lapiplasty® repositions and stabilizes the bone in three dimensions • How plates and screws prevent the bunion from returning 👍 Like and subscribe for more clear, patient-friendly orthopedic surgery explainers. 👉 Join Viz Medical for early access + custom emojis: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPAtCitq_7Al95AWv5yMAwg/join #Lapiplasty #BunionSurgery #FootHealth #3DMedicalAnimation #MedicalAnimation #PatientEducation #Orthopedics
