What is Bunionplasty® 360?
Bunionplasty® 360 Bunion Repair is a modern, minimally invasive approach to bunion correction that addresses the root cause of the deformity (the rotation and misalignment of the metatarsal bone), not just the bump on the outside of the foot.
Rather than simply shaving the bony bump, Bunionplasty® 360 realigns the bone in three dimensions and stabilizes it with small titanium implants. Most patients walk in a surgical shoe the same day and return to regular shoes in weeks, not months.
Watch: Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction
This surgery gets rid of a bunion by correcting the position of the bone that has shifted to cause the bump. Lapiplasty realigns the bone and stabilizes the joint to lower the chance that the bunion returns.
Inside the bunion.
A bunion is a bony bump at the base of the big toe caused by deformity of the first metatarsal. Modern minimally invasive bunion correction realigns the bone through small incisions, which usually means smaller scars than traditional open surgery.

Why experience matters.
Why experience matters
Bunion surgery is highly technique-dependent. Volume, training, and judgment together determine the outcome you actually feel six months later.
- Precise diagnosis from imaging and exam
- Conservative-first care that avoids unnecessary surgery
- Surgical technique refined over thousands of cases
- On-site imaging + coordinated PT through your in-network provider
The LAOSS approach
Our foot & ankle specialists move stepwise: start with the least-invasive option that fits your situation, escalate only when it doesn't.
- Same-day imaging at most offices
- PT coordinated in your insurance network
- Board-certified surgeons performing the procedures themselves
- Direct access to your specialist between visits
Am I a candidate?
If most of these match your situation, an evaluation with a foot & ankle specialist is the next step.
You may be a candidate if
These signs typically point toward an in-person evaluation with a foot & ankle specialist.
- A painful bump at the base of the big toe that makes shoes hard to wear
- A big toe that drifts toward or crowds the second toe
- Symptoms that limit walking, lifting, sleep, or work
- Wider shoes, pads, or orthotics that no longer control the pain
- X-rays that confirm a bunion deformity (hallux valgus)
What evaluation includes
Your first visit is built to give you an answer the same day, not just another referral.
- Detailed history: onset, mechanism, what makes it better or worse
- Hands-on exam focused on the affected joint or region
- On-site imaging at most offices (X-ray, ultrasound)
- Clear plan with options ranging from conservative to surgical
- Same-day or next-day scheduling for any follow-up tests
ImportantSeek urgent evaluation for sudden severe pain, an open wound, a toe that turns pale, blue, or cold, new numbness, or any sign of infection (fever, increasing redness or swelling).
Your bunion surgery recovery roadmap.
Recovery is rarely a straight line, but a clear plan with measurable milestones makes the path predictable.
- Days 0 to 14
Right after care
In the first two weeks we focus on protecting the corrected toe, controlling swelling, and letting the incisions heal.
- Activity modification with clear do/don't guidance
- Ice, elevation, and pain control as needed
- Gentle range-of-motion within safe limits
- Follow-up scheduled to track healing
- Weeks 2 to 8
Rehabilitation
Targeted physical therapy rebuilds strength, mobility, and confidence in the foot and big toe.
- Progressive strengthening and neuromuscular work
- Manual therapy and soft-tissue treatment
- Sport- or job-specific movement re-training
- Coordinated PT through your in-network provider
- Months 2+
Long-term care
Once function is restored, the focus shifts to keeping you there, and catching any recurrence early.
- Return-to-activity plan with measured benchmarks
- Home program tailored to your sport or job
- Maintenance visits or imaging if symptoms change
- Direct line back to your specialist if needed
Risks & considerations
What to weigh before you decide.
We talk through the risks and benefits with every patient. Informed consent is a conversation, not a form.
General considerations
Every orthopedic intervention carries a small set of standard risks. We screen, prepare, and monitor for these on every patient.
- Infection (rare with modern technique and prophylaxis)
- Bleeding or bruising at the treatment site
- Reaction to anesthesia or medications
- Need for additional procedures in some cases
Bunion surgery considerations
Some risks are tied to the structures we're treating in the foot. We discuss these in detail at your visit so you can weigh them against the benefits.
- Temporary stiffness or weakness during recovery
- Incomplete pain relief in a small percentage of cases
- Nerve or vessel irritation near the treatment area
- Need for follow-up therapy to fully restore function
FAQ.
- Traditional bunion surgery uses a larger incision to cut and realign the bone; Bunionplasty uses small incisions and percutaneous (through-the-skin) techniques, with a screw to hold the correction. Result: less soft-tissue trauma, less scarring, and faster recovery.
