Bunions are a progressive structural deformity of the big toe joint creating a painful bony prominence that worsens without management. Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction provides lasting surgical realignment for patients requiring structural correction in all three planes of deformity.

Patients from Reading and Hillsdale County presenting with bunions commonly experience: bony bump at the inner side of the foot at the big toe base, joint pain and redness, big toe angling toward the second toe, callus formation under the second metatarsal, difficulty fitting standard shoes.
