Frequently Asked Questions.

One of the primary objectives of our bunion correction systems is to minimize a patient’s downtime post-surgery without the need for a cast. The actual time to limited weight-bearing in a C.A.M. boot can vary, but it could range between 2-6 weeks or longer, as directed by your surgeon.

A primary goal of our bunion correction systems is to offer patients the possibility of comfortably wearing a broader range of shoe styles. It’s essential to make informed choices regarding shoe sizes and styles to prevent potential pain and deformities that can occur even in normal feet. For more guidance on proper footwear, consult your doctor.

Our bunion correction systems require fewer open incisions than other bunion correction methods, aiming for quicker healing and minimal scarring. They are specifically designed to mitigate the risk of 2nd metatarsal fractures, a common issue with several bunion correction techniques. The systems avoid mechanisms that can exert undue pressure on the 2nd metatarsal bone. The LapiLock bunion correction system offers both plantar (downward) and dorsal (upward) flexion, granting surgeons enhanced control for optimal bunion correction outcomes.
