I had bunion surgery 10 years ago and it did not go well. First it did not fix it but more than that I was in so much pain and they didn’t get the medication right it was too strong for the first three days I was in agony I never wanted to do it again but now the other foot is in need of it and I am too afraid to do it 😬

Hi Andy! Any shoe can contribute to bunions. Most people who have bunions have a propensity for bunions and were born with the chance of getting a bunion because of deformity in the middle of the foot. Shoe wear can contribute because it squeezes the toes together - so the tighter the toe box (or pointed part of the toe/box of the shoe) you do have a higher chance of making the bunion worse. Check out the link in our bio for more info!
Hi! I'm curious if fusion of the metatarsal is actually required for this type of operation. I suppose that it comes into play because once it shifts out of alignment, it's very likely to do so again even if corrected, but in my head I can't really figure out how this wouldn't introduce extra difficulties with physical activity since this would invariably removed a good deal of flexibility from the foot. Are there any known long term consequences to this surgery? I asked this question before checking the website, but I'd just like to know these things since I have a younger adoptive sibling who suffers the bunion curse :P
Thanks for your question, Yotsu. If you are referring to a fusion of your big toe joint (MTP fusion), they are different procedures that fuse different joints in the foot. MTP fusion fuses your big toe joint (typically for painful arthritis), which is actually a motion joint in your foot, so the fusion eliminates the natural motion in that joint. With the Lapiplasty® Procedure, the joint that is fused is a different joint (TMT joint) further up in your foot, which is a stability joint (that has become unstable), not a motion joint*- so the procedure is intentionally designed to stabilize this unstable joint.

@@Lapiplasty3DBunionCorrection Hey, thanks! I have a basic grasp of foot anatomy but I was simply curious about whether or not solidifying this stability joint may cause flexibility issues in the foot. It sounds like the answer is "No, because that joint is not intended to move in the first place." although my own feet are rather unique, in that my tarsometatarsal joint is more flexible than most peoples. In that regard, for someone like me, this surgery might possibly wind up having mild complications but thankfully my feet are perfectly healthy. I bet it would do a lot of good for my younger sibling though, so thank you for the information- I'll do more research into this if he ever decided to get corrective surgery for it so I can help him make an informed choice :)
Hi Ehab! With Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction®, patients can generally get back to activity quickly. Usually, within days, you are able to put some weight on your operative foot in a boot, followed by a walking boot for 4-6 weeks. With any surgery, giving your body time to heal is critical to avoiding issues or problems. Learn more about the recovery process from a Lapiplasty® Procedure by visiting our Link in Bio.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Please be sure to continue to share any and all post-operative concerns you may have with your surgeon to make sure they are aware of them, so they can help address any issues and provide assistance as necessary.
@Lapiplasty3DBunionCorrection I share this at each follow-up with my surgeon...I am very upfront and honest with him. I may need a 2nd opinion to check his work. I am worried! Thanks for your advice as well!

Hi Bilor! Pain is such a personal and subjective thing, it’s hard to answer this question for you. Pain can be influenced by such a wide variety of factors including: how your individual doctor assists in managing post-operatively (some doctors inject a pain control method at the surgical site, some prescribe pain medication) to personal tolerance to pain.
